Tissue World Istanbul 2024 has successfully welcomed almost 700 tissue colleagues to its exclusive exhibition and conference held last week, as event organiser Informa Connect announces the event’s return to the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel on 18-19 November 2026.
The two-day event hosted over 45 global exhibitors, 30+ conference talks, and recorded a total of 894 visits, of which 682 were unique visits.
In terms of the regional breakdown, 55% of attendees were from Türkiye, and they were joined by colleagues from Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Further afield, 60% of attendees visited from Asia, 12.3% visited from the EU, as well as peers from non-EU countries and Africa.
Gerry Dunphy, Tissue World Event Director, said: “It was fantastic to be back in Istanbul for the first time in six years with a brand new integrated conference and exhibition, hosted at an absolutely top drawer location.
“The format allowed exhibitors and delegates to enjoy maximum time together and from the feedback, we’ve heard there were some substantial conversations and business deals concluded.
“The Hilton Istanbul Bomonti proved to be the perfect setting for the event and we’re excited to announce we will be returning with Tissue World Istanbul on 18-19 November 2026.’’
The conference – with a theme of Resilience and Innovation: Building Businesses for Tomorrow – offered insights from over 30 speakers.
They included Lila Kağıt’s Orhan Öğücü, Hayat Kimya’s Tugba Erdogan, SecureValue’s Mark Goddard, and ResourceWise’s Luis Norton Sampaio.
Technical talks also included speakers from Valmet Tissue Converting, Futura Converting, TietoEvry, Maflex, Buckman, Toscotec, and BW Converting Solutions.
For those who couldn’t attend, the upcoming November/December edition of Tissue World Magazine will summarise key talks and themes from the event.
