After a successful run last year, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association is hosting another round of fall regional meetings, starting with a gathering next Friday, September 5, in Nashville.

They can also enjoy lunch and an in-plant tour.

A number of government printers from the National Government Publishing Association, now part of IPMA, were there this year, as well as two attendees from Australia.
