NGPA Conference Just 10 Days Away

Ursula Burns, president of Xerox, will give the keynote address to kick off the 32nd annual National Government Publishing Association conference, just 10 days from today. The event, taking place in Bellvue, Wash., is being hosted by the Washington State Department of Printing.

The conference will start with an opening reception on October 19, giving government printers from all over the country a chance to mingle. After Burns’ keynote the next morning, Wes Friesen, in-plant manager at Portland Gas & Electric, will give a presentation titled “Successfully Managing In-House Operations.” Then, Patricia Fritz, associate chief of staff for strategic environmental programs for the Government Printing Office, will discuss sustainability.

Bob Neubauer, editor of In-Plant Graphics, will wrap up the first day’s sessions with a presentation comparing government in-plants with the rest of the in-plant industry using the results from two recent IPG surveys.

Other conference highlights include Pete Basiliere, research director and Gartner Analyst, discussing Web to Print, and Steve Rigby, of Washington State University, offering some in-plant marketing tips.
