NCNPC making plans for May 16-17 conference

The North Carolina Newspaper Production Conference is scheduled for May 16-17, 2008 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel at Research Triangle Park, NC.  The conference, now in its fifty-fifth year, has become one of the leading professional development conferences of its kind.

The Production Conference is geared toward the professional development of those in the newspaper production industry.  Anyone in advertising design, pre-press, press, or post-press (distribution) areas of newspaper production can benefit from the sessions and speakers brought in by the conference. The Conference continues to focus on industry trends, new technologies, and helps participants find ways to improve quality in their daily work.

Although the meeting is called the North Carolina Newspaper Production Conference, newspapers from South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee have been regular participants and are encouraged to attend.

And there’s also time for relaxation.  The Conference kicks off with the annual golf outing on Friday morning, May 16.  This year's golfing returns to Crooked Creek Golf Club in Fuquay-Varina, south of Raleigh.

A very popular alternative Friday activity debuted last year and will return this year - our fishing tournament! This year's tournament will be held on Harris Lake, south of Raleigh. Boats, tackle, bait & refreshments are provided, but those fishing must have a NC Fishing License to participate. Here's a link to get your NC Fishing License: http://216.27.49.98/fs_index_01_license.htm

Note that space is limited and pre-registration is required for golf and fishing.

The conference is a great value as well, at only $25.00 per person registration, the NCNPC is a great way to keep up with others in the industry and enjoy a great weekend.

New volume discounts are available this year as well, including "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" and "$100 Unlimited Attendance Per Newspaper".

Golf is an additional $15 per participant, and fishing is an additional $25 per participant. There are no volume discounts for golf or fishing.
