Yes, there's still time to join us in New Orleans on Oct. 11-12! The city will be packed with wide-format professionals attending the APDSP convention, the meetings of ReproMAX and RSA, and the SGIA trade show. You don't want to miss it!
Of course, the best part of the week will be the APDSP convention, which will feature the day-long Job Site University, designed to show reprographics professionals how to capitalize on the technology on modern job sites. The event will be held at the Doubletree by Hilton, 300 Canal St., New Orleans, which is just four blocks from the location of the SGIA convention, so attendees can attend both events in one trip.
Here is the tentative schedule:
Wednesday, Oct. 11:
5:30 to 7 p.m., Crescent Ballroom, top floor of the Doubletree by Hilton: Welcome Reception, sponsored by KIP, will be a perfect chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
