Call for Papers

INDA is proud to announce a Call for Presentations for the 2026 World of Wipes® International Conference. World of Wipes (WOW) is organized and presented to the nonwoven fabrics industry by INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry. Presentations at WOW will focus on a series of market and technical topics (listed below) to provide opportunities for industry leaders to review the latest research, product innovation, and market applications for all wiping products and their components. WOW will target end use wipe manufacturers, converters, and their suppliers.

Speaker Registration Policy Update

Effective May 1, 2025, all conference speakers will be required to pay a greatly reduced registration fee. This fee is set at a nominal rate ($500 per speaker) and is intended solely to offset food and beverage costs associated with the four-day conference.
