PAST CONFERENCES: 2009


PASIC's 2009 New York City Power Conference
was a tremendous success!

Nearly 80 PASIC members converged at the Millennium Broadway Hotel, right at the center of Times Square, for PASIC's 2009 Power Conference -- three fun and information-packed days of topnotch workshops featuring the movers and shakers in publishing. And, of course, Thursday evening rocked at PASIC's Industry Reception, where members congregated with close to 100 publishing professionals over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. You couldn't ask for a better way to meet and talk face to face with people in the know.
