From the Editor: Conference A Hit
At the IPMA business lunch, President-elect John Sarantakos reported that "the financial strength of the organization is very good." More than 200 new members have signed up since last year, he added, and the association hopes to increase membership to 750 by next year.
As conferences go, this one was packed with sessions and activities. The schedule was filled right up to the dinner bell, with some of the biggest names in the printing industry (Frank Romano, Howie Fenton, Barb Pellow) giving presentations. When I looked over my notes to write my conference recap (page 20) I was struck by how much information I had collected—way too much to include in a single story. The conference was certainly a great educational bargain for the managers who attended.
