ACUP Comes to Minneapolis
For the first time in its 49-year history, the Association of College and University Printers (ACUP) ventured into Minnesota last month, bringing 80 higher-ed in-plant managers together for four days of networking and education.
Cloudy skies and daily showers didn't sour the mood of managers one bit, as they engaged in enthusiastic conversations about their in-plants. With attendees from 59 institutions in 25 states, plus Scotland, England and Australia, a medley of diverse accents filled the air throughout the event, which took place in downtown Minneapolis. From the Sunday night opening reception, to Monday's boat cruise on the Mississippi, to the awards dinner on the last night, managers found ample time to talk and compare notes. In addition, roundtable discussions on topics like Web-to-print, mail and digital bindery solutions gave attendees plenty of time to share their experiences and solve one another's problems.
