In-plants Around the World

Two of these groups are NIPPA, (the National In-plant Print & Publishing Association), which draws members from Australia and New Zealand, and CUPMAC (the College and University Print Management Association of Canada).

With about 145 members, NIPPA (www.nippa.com.au) has grown 45 percent in the past three years, says David Harrison, president. This is due largely to improved marketing, the professional development opportunities NIPPA offers, increased sponsorship, and expanding into the New Zealand market, he says. Started in 1993, NIPPA hosts an annual conference (held last month in Melbourne) and posts pertinent information and training opportunities on its Web site.
