April 26th & 27th
Gideon Putnam Resort
Using a New Toolkit
NYPA’s spring conference is always a time for renewal, reenergizing, refocusing, reengineering, and recharging. It’s a time to see what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s not. It’s a time to visit with colleagues and old friends, and to make new friends, take time to talk with vendors (to see the latest and greatest), and to have some fun. What we do is hard work, but nobody said it couldn’t/shouldn’t be fun!
Join us as we celebrate Better Newspaper Contest award winners, and casino winners - Friday night is Casino Night at the historic Canfield Casino – casino games, dancing, fabulous food and drink in the one-of-a-kind venue with spectacular vaulted ceilings, ornate parlor rooms, Tiffany windows and lots of history.
Learn the newest tricks of the trade at the fabulous vendor showcase/trade show – more vendors, first-time vendors, more time for vendors. Take advantage of this convenient opportunity to see a demo, compare products, services, and pricing for software, services, commercial printing, and more.
Focus on your well-being – networking and learning from your colleagues is one of the greatest benefits of getting together. What are other publishers doing, investing in, growing, or letting go of? How can you help one another? What can you learn from one another?
The spring convention and trade show is a great value – NYPA underwrites the majority of the conference expenses to keep convention registration fees low-priced and affordable for all. Attendees benefit from 64 top-shelf workshops, awards ceremonies, vendor exhibits, a newspaper and magazine exchange, and lots of networking opportunities. You won’t find a better value at a lower price anywhere.

We can’t wait to see you!
