Conference Changes
The times, they are a-changin’, at least for two key NAA conferences.
Beginning in 2002, NAA’s Marketing Conference will move to the first quarter of the year. The following year, the Connections new-media confab will join it. In subsequent years, other NAA Federation conferences–with the exception of the Classified Conference–also will move to the first-quarter time frame.
"As NAA’s Marketing and Connections conferences continue to grow, moving them to a January-February time frame solves several challenges," explains Reggie Hall, senior vice president of NAA’s membership-services group. "Attendees want NAA to conduct these conferences in one hotel, if possible. As the conferences expand, hotels large enough to accommodate them are primarily in Southern locations–venues much more attractive in January and February than July."
NAA’s 2002 Marketing Conference is slated for Jan. 20-23 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina. In future years, the conference will be held in the late-January-to-mid-February time frame.
This year, however, all Federation conferences will join NEXPO®2000 for NAA’s Newspapers 2000 megaconference, slated for June 15-20 in San Francisco. For information, visit www.naa.org/newspapers2000.
Drupa 2000 Gears UpDrupa 2000, the once-every-five-years megashow, again will be big. So big that two additional exhibition halls had to be built and a third borrowed to squeeze everything in. Seven months before the world’s largest print-media exhibition, May 18-31 in Düsseldorf, Germany, more than 1,657 exhibitors from 42 countries already had signed up. All told, Drupa 2000 expects to fill 2.4 million square feet across 18 exhibition halls. With 157 exhibitors already committed to Drupa 2000, the U.S. ranks third in numbers. Some 60 American suppliers will display their products in two U.S. pavilions, organized by Messe Düsseldorf North America. For information on attending or exhibiting, contact Messe Düsseldorf North America, 150 North Michigan Ave., Suite 2920, Chicago, Ill. 60601. Internet, www.drupa.com; phone, (312) 781-5180; fax, (312) 781-5188.
