Wipes-focused event held in Chicago

INDA president Tony Fragnito, who assumed the role last month, opened the 2022 World of Wipes (WOW) conference yesterday, welcoming nearly 500 industry professionals to the event at the Marriott Marquis in Chicago, IL. With the wipes sector adapting to demands for products that protect consumers from COVID-related risks, industry experts will present the latest insights for moving forward post-pandemic at the World of Wipes® (WOW) International Conference.   

Fragnito thanked the INDA staff for their hard word in organizing the event.  “These events wouldn’t be possible without the staff of INDA,” he said also recognizing the contributions of his predecessor, INDA president emeritus Dave Rousse, who led the association since 2012.

This year marks the 16th annual edition of the World of Wipes conference, which was established by INDA in 2006.

The information-packed program will tackle timely topics to support decision making on the following key themes: Circular and Sustainable Wipes, Supply Chain Challenges in Wipes, Nonwoven Substrates for More Sustainable Wipes, Trends in the Wipes Market and Among Consumers, Disinfection Concerns and New Technologies, Sustainable Wipe Packaging Trends and Developments in Flushability Issues.   

In addition to the conference sessions, the WOW event includes two tabletop receptions and the presentation of two awards, the WOW Innovation Award and the INDA Lifetime Technical Achievement Award.
 
Next year’s WOW conference will be held in Atlanta, GA.
