From the Editor: Two Decades of IPMA

As I was preparing my presentation for last month's In-plant Printing and Mailing Association conference, I realized this would be my 20th time attending the event. I guess I'm officially one of the old-timers now.

Much has changed over the course of those 20 conferences. Most of the managers I knew in my early days have moved on, replaced by a new group of regulars. Attendance has dwindled a bit too. At my first conference (Nashville, 1995) more than 660 managers were on hand; this year, 130 made the trip to Milwaukee—though this is an increase over attendance figures from a few years ago.
