After a big success last year in San Francisco, ACUP is moving across the country to Clearwater, Fla. Taking place May 4-8, the Association of College and University Printers conference will be cohosted by Florida State University and the University of North Florida.
A terrific lineup of sessions is planned, including topics like:
• Justifying equipment and software acquisitions
• Transforming your shop from conventional to digital
• Blending educational programs with in-plant printing
• Outsourcing: A dirty word or a sensible solution?
• Merging mail and print operations
• Future trends and directions in higher-ed in-plants
• Managing a changing work force: How to deal with the younger generation
• Developing, negotiating, and managing copier contracts
• Customer service: Is it on your employee’s mind?
• Environmental concerns for in-plants
Plus IPG Editor Bob Neubauer will present the results of a major IPG in-plant industry survey, detailing trends and future plans of those in the industry.
A tour of the St. Petersburg Times newspaper facility is in the planning stages, and one evening will be spent on a dinner cruise along the beautiful intercoastal waterway.
All this, in addition to the usual spirited and congenial networking among peers, make ACUP an event not to miss for college and university printers.
