"We are really excited about the opportunity to host our in-plant colleagues in Mechanicsburg," noted Dwayne in talking about the event. "And we are pleased that Konica Minolta is sponsoring the event and providing Senior Vice President of Production Print, Barbara Stainbrook, to provide our keynote session!"
 In keeping with the meeting's theme of "Raising the Bar" Barbara will discuss the trends, methods and considerations when transforming your facility to provide new value added services in the areas of Social Media, Direct Mail and Targeted Marketing. The impact of providing such services to your corporation can be significant, but setting the proper internal and external expectations is critical. She will discuss the challenges and successes that you need to be aware of to build a solid relationship and reputation as a problem solver to your marketing department.
Following lunch Teri Kelly from New Leaf Paper will discuss how in-plants can differentiate themselves within their enterprise by taking the "High Road to High Quality Printing and Environmental Stewardship." The full schedule will be as follows:
- 10:30 – 10:45 Welcome and Announcements - Dwayne Magee, Messiah College
- 10:45 – 11:45 Keynote - "Expanding Services & Value to Your Clients: Connecting the In-Plant Marketing Gap" - Barbara Stainbrook, Konica Minolta
- 11:45 – 12:45 Lunch, Networking and IPMA Presentation - Debbie Pavletich, IPMA
- 12:45 – 1:15 Educational Session - "The Road to High Quality Printing & Environmental Stewardship - Teri Kelly, New Leaf Paper
- 1:30 – 2:30 Messiah College Press Tour and Konica Minolta Press Demonstration (at Messiah College Graphics Production Center less than 1 mile away)
- 2:30 Drawings for Gift Cards and Prizes & Good-byes
The Regional Event is a local, convenient and affordable half-day educational outing focused on helping in-plant professionals look at innovative ways of Raising the Bar to establish and maintain their competitive edge! The event is open to ALL in-plant professionals - and its FREE! No vendors, please, unless you are a sponsor.
The event provides a great way to expand your local network of in-plant printing and mailing professionals. Since a site tour is part of the program, it also provides a live, in-person look at Messiah's best practices. Additionally, many companies find sending staff to a local meeting a way to motivate and reward those who don't usually have the opportunity to go to IPMA's annual conference or other industry events.
 The event will also be attended by IPMA's Vendor Relations Representative, Debbie Pavletich. She will be on hand to help attendees learn more about IPMA membership and benefits, as well as get input on topics or ideas members would like addressed at the highest levels of the organization. Debbie will also be able to discuss the potential for a more ongoing series of local and regional activities focused on the in-plant printing and mailing industry.
