IPMA 2011 Enjoys Wide Attendance & Great Reviews!
 IPMA 2011 was a huge success drawing attendees from all industry segments and 36 states plus Australia! Here's what attendees said:
"It has been several years since I have been able to attend the IPMA conference. I now know what I've been missing. The keynotes and presentations were excellent and jam packed with valuable information that I'm already using. Meeting old friends and networking with new ones was one of the most valuable aspects and allowed me to pick up strategies I hadn't used before. If you didn't go, you really missed out. Make plans for next year in Kansas City (June 24-28). It's well worth the investment!" Jean-Luc Devis, Director, Washington State Dept. of Printing
"I reported to my supervisor that this was by far the best print conference that I have attended in 21 years of going to these things because it was relevant to my specific business, extremely informative and provided a networking environment like I've never seen. A+ Looking forward to KC!" Andrew Peczeniuk, Manager, Central Printing, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
"I cannot say enough about how much this IPMA conference has affected me and the amount of information, ideas and concepts I walked away with. I am still reveling on cloud nine from last week and can't wait for next year. The bar has been set and I know that next year will be equally matched. For those who have never been to KC, you're in for a treat because there are a lot of cool things to do and see there. I look forward to reuniting with all of you next year and getting acquainted with new friends as well." Richard Silver, Print Services Coordinator, George Fox University |
