From the Editor: Fall In-plant Festivals

It's been a very active Autumn for in-plants. After all the September in-plant gatherings, like the ones at PRINT 13 and then the SUPDMC conference, October brought even more meetings for managers.

First there was the Rocky Mountain College and University Mail Services conference. Then the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association kicked off a series of six regional meetings all over the country. In the midst of this, the Texas Association of College and University Printers (teaming up this year with the Southwest Association of College and University Mail Services) collected about 40 print and mail managers down in Lubbock, while the National Government Publishing Association pulled in slightly fewer (actually, a lot fewer) to its conference in New Haven, Conn. (Didn't we once talk about consolidating this cornucopia of conferences?)
