Please note: Since IBBC will run concurrent with PEERS we will accept PowerPoint Presentations with or without papers
The deadline for abstract submittal for IBBC 2020 is March 27, 2020.
IBBC accepts PowerPoint Presentations with or without papers. Authors interested in presenting should upload their abstract to TAPPI’s Speaker Management System by March 27, 2020. Abstracts should be 1-2 paragraphs in length. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by April 29, 2020 and must provide a first draft of their presentation by September 7, 2020.
Papers accepted for inclusion in the IBBCconference are also eligible for publication in TAPPI Journal
which will be Open Access in 2020. For more information on having your work published in TAPPI Journal,
visit the online submission page, or simply email [email protected] |
