WPA Conference Brochure 2008

The WPA 2008 Publishing Conference Welcomes You! April 30 through May 2 Westin Hotel at Los Angeles Airport to the Western Publications Association’s 6th Annual Publishing Conference, where this year we focus on “Content. Community. Convergence. The New Publishing Model.” Content is clearly the most significant piece, with the critical issues being how and where to use it so it’s most effective and useful to your readers. Community speaks to who your readers are, where they are (electronic or print) and how to reach them. And last is Convergence, the development of the multiplatform delivery of content to your community. As we travel through 2008, the evolution of the publishing media business continues at a fast pace. Our conference this year deals with how this evolution affects your day-to-day business. During these two days, we’ll slow the pace and provide you with the necessary tools to deal with this new publishing model by discussing, among other things: G How to build the electronic side of your databases G How to help your staff learn the new skills required by a multiplatform environment G How the new publishing model is changing to deal with environmental issues in manufacturing and production G How to design and edit for the new multiplatform…and more. G How to integrate marketing into various platforms Welcome WPA Conference Sponsors (at press time) Thank you to the following sponsors: The following pages describe, in detail, the workshop and sessions offered, our expert speakers and keynotes, as well as conference rates, exhibit hours, Industry Panel Discussion and Cocktail Reception information, Maggie banquet information, registration and hotel information.
