TAPPI/AICC Announce Cris Carter to Keynote at SuperCorrExpo® 2024

TAPPI and AICC, co-producers of the mega corrugated event SuperCorrExpo® 2024, have announced Cris Carter will be a keynote speaker at the corrugated industry’s quadrennial event taking place September 8-12, 2024 in Orlando, FL.

Cris Carter is a Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver renowned for his outstanding NFL career and impactful broadcasting presence. Over his sixteen seasons (1987-2002) with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, and Miami Dolphins, Carter was named to eight Pro Bowls and twice earned first-team All-Pro honors. He starred at Ohio State in college, becoming a consensus All-American after his junior season.

Upon retiring, Carter transitioned into broadcasting, where he served as a studio analyst for HBO’s Inside the NFL (2002-2007) and ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown (2008-2016). He was a regular co-host on ESPN’s Mike and Mike, and provided expert analysis on ESPN’s Super Bowl and NFL Draft coverage. Most recently, Carter co-hosted Fox Sports 1’s daily morning show, First Things First, where he debated the hottest sports topics.

In 2013, Carter authored "Going Deep," a book examining the evolution of the wide receiver position. A sought-after public speaker, Carter addresses leadership, teamwork, and overcoming adversity, drawing from his personal battle with addiction and recovery journey. His motivational talks have inspired audiences worldwide.

Carter is joining a distinguished group set to keynote at SuperCorrExpo®, including New York Times Bestselling Author Shawn DuBravac and Jake Hall, known for his industry-leading platform The Manufacturing Millennial. “We are honored for Cris Carter to join us at SuperCorrExpo®,” said TAPPI CEO and President Larry N. Montague. “His journey of resilience and success is sure to inspire and energize our attendees.”
