ACUP 2013 ◊ May 19th -
23rd ◊ Save the
Date!
We are pleased to announce the 48th annual ACUP
Conference will be held May 19th - May
23rd, 2013 in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota. Our host
will be Doug Fenske of the Minnesota State University, Mankato, with the
assistance Naomi Quiram of nearby Gustavus Adolphus
College. This will be the first time ACUP has had the
opportunity to visit our members from the great state of Minnesota. The Minneapolis / St. Paul area is a
vibrant visitor destination that beckons to be explored
Recommendations from past conference
participants:
- This brings peer managers together with very similar goals,
issues and challenges. I strongly believe that the informal
discussions that occur all over the 4 days are the highlight of
what I take back. I can't think of any in-plant that would
not benefit from this event. All things considered, it is
priced reasonably and well worth the cost.
- I recommend the conference frequently to both University
in-plant managers, and equipment vendor's. For the most part we all
have the same issues because we all work for academic institutions.
I feel it provides an efficient use of institutional funds towards
managerial development.
- ACUP is the forum where we can go and share similar
issues among our peers. Whether you are a large sheet/web fed shop
or a small digital shop we all share a common thread, and that is
proving our importance to our university. This forum is a great
tool to help each other understand and learn what works well and
what doesn't. It is also a great time to relax, enjoy great food
and entertainment, and fellowship with your industry peers.
- The professional contact and support you get form the
conference are great. It's a great combination of professional
development and personal enjoyment. It's fun!
