This year I wore the 5+ year member ribbon at the TAPPI Nanotechnology Conference. Since my first meeting in 2009 (thank you for inviting me Lori Sheremeta!), the meeting has grown from mostly academic reports and basic nanocellulose science to a diverse range of topics on the technologies,  applications, characterization and safety!

Highlights of the inaugural European Bio-based World Meeting in Amsterdam. Delegates from all areas of bio-based materials on May 24th and 25th, 2016. The meeting hosted exciting presentations, round-table discussions, expert panels, networking sessions, interactive voting sessions, exhibitor clinics, and an award ceremony.

Japan’s AIST Nanocellulose Forum (NCF) is a public/private partnership with over 280 members, including 176 corporate members, and a mandate to accelerate the research and development, commercialization and standardization of nanocellulose.
