Set for June 12-14 at the Gideon Putnam Resort in Saratoga Springs, the 2016 conference also marks the 100th anniversary of NYSCMA, Inc.'s first conference!
The 2016 conference's theme of "Black and White & Read All Over" is a nod to the old newspaper punchline which also acknowledges that now, more than ever, the news is consumed by readers across numerous platforms, wherever they may be.
As always, the conference agenda features a long list of informative speakers and valuable breakout sessions hand-picked for the Circulation Managers, Advertising Managers, and Ad Sales Reps of New York State's daily newspapers.
In addition to joint sessions, the agenda also features breakout sessions tailored specifically to the needs and interests of Circulation Managers, Advertising Managers, and Ad Sales Reps.
Once again, NYNAME and NYSCMA, Inc. are offering registration to their memberships at the severely discounted rate of $175 for the first attendee and $125 for additional attendees from that group. Day rates are also available for those interested in only attending part of the conference.
Please note that the deadline to take advantage of each group's registration special and to make hotel reservations is Friday, May 6th.
