Which In-plant Conference Attendees Are Paid the Most?
Nearly half of all in-plant managers attend educational conferences, and those that do make more money than those who stay at home. This was just one of the findings of IPG's new In-plant Salary Survey Report.
The number of managers who attend conference has risen over the past two years. In 2015, 44.4% attended conferences, and in 2013 just 27.5% did. Our survey revealed that the managers who attend conferences make 9.2% more than those who don’t.
The most popular event attended by survey respondents is the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) conference, with 63% of those who attend conferences going to this one. The Association of College and University Printers (ACUP) conference is the next most popular — no doubt due to the high number of higher-ed in-plant managers who responded — with 38% saying they attend.
Third in line is Graph Expo, which draws 34% of managers. Various vendor user group conferences make up the next most popular event category, with 15% saying they attend those.
In terms of salary, however, attendees of MailCom (5% of respondents) make the most money ($98,600) followed by attendees of SGIA ($91,838) and DScoop ($91,750). Graph Expo comes in at No. 5, with the average salary of attendees at $85,047.
