Canadian In-plant Conference Starts Monday in British Columbia
On Monday, June 24, in-plant managers from across Canada will meet for the 2019 College & University Print Management Association of Canada (CUPMAC) conference, in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs in British Columbia. In-plant Impressions Editor Bob Neubauer will be there to cover the event.
Chris Joakim and his team from the University of the Fraser Valley will host CUPMAC Connect 2019 – A Roadmap to Success, which begins with a reception Sunday evening and wraps up with a tour of UFV Chilliwack Print Services, and an awards dinner on Wednesday, June 26.
At CUPMAC 2017, attendees Philip Poelmans (McMaster University), Heather Hersemeyer (Nipissing University) and Hanif Kassam (Simon Fraser Univeristy) chat in between sessions.
The four-day event is designed to help managers build, grow and drive their shops to success. It will feature three workshops and professional development sessions from industry expert Howie Fenton, who will cover topics like creating a road map for in-plant success, benchmarking performance and new pricing strategy for in plants.
Neubauer will cover some of the latest trends in the in-plant industry, drawn from several In-plant Impressions research reports, and focus on the convergence of technologies happening in the digital print world. He will share success stories from in-plants that have implemented new services and increased their relevance.
CUPMAC 2018 attendees pose on the York University campus after their tour of the in-plant.
Attendees will hear about the University of Victoria’s success with wide-format printing, and Donna Cooper Horbelt will discuss her in-plant at the University of Texas Health Science Center Houston. There will also be roundtable discussions, a trade show showcasing new products and many networking opportunities.
Watch for IPI's coverage of the event.
