Government Printers Meet in New Orleans
Though the program was packed with information, the conference was definitely not packed with people. About 24 in-plant representatives were on hand, way down from the 82 that attended last year's NGPA conference in Belleview, Wash. The economy seemed to be the main reason for the decrease, as many previously active members were not permitted to travel out of state this year. Members discussed co-locating with other conferences in the future, but in the end decided to proceed with holding their own conference again in 2010.
