From the Editor: Progress in New Orleans
The low numbers were a big concern to organizers. NGPA President Richard Beto initiated a discussion about future NGPA conferences and made a suggestion along the lines of what I recommended in my column last month: Partnering with another conference. He asked attendees if they would be willing to co-locate with the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association's event in June. Though several were interested, the major roadblock was the timing. The June event is part of the current fiscal year, so it's not in their budgets. For such a merger to work, NGPA would have to skip 2010 and join IPMA in 2011.
