After taking a sabbatical last year, the Association of College and University Printers conference will begin on Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. Hosted by Richard Griffin, director of Campus Printing at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), it will feature several roundtable discussions on topics like digital presses, online ordering and wide-format printing. Other sessions will cover good financial management practices, best business practices, peer evaluation, using social media to grow your business and utilizing Microsoft Outlook to manage your time. 

IPG Editor Bob Neubauer will provide a “state of the industry” address using data from a major in-plant industry survey currently being conducted. And the keynote address will be given by CPCC’s president, Dr. Tony Zeiss, on the topic “Becoming Indispensable to Your Organization.”

“One thing we plan to offer is a peer review session,” Griffin reveals. “We plan to break attendees up into groups of like-sized operations, and...each group member will get the opportunity to run her/his issues by other manager/peers.”

ACUP 2010 will also feature a vendor exhibit area, a tour of a major commercial printer and a visit to the Charlotte Motor Speedway and Racing Museum.

With the economy still impacting the ability of managers to travel, this year's ACUP will include fewer attendees—about 45 at last count. However they hail from a range of schools all over the U.S. and even from Scotland.
