Peak Publishing: Climb to the Top

Thank You!

2008 College participants made this year’s CIPA College an over-the-top success with:

  • Great attendance at each meeting
  • Networking and sharing of ideas among speakers, exhibitors, attendees
  • More than 25 knowledgeable and inspirational speakers
  • An exhibit hall with 24+  companies buzzing with activity
  • A silent auction that raised just shy of $5000 for ELF
  • And, the festive EVVY Award Banquet celebrating excellence in independent publishing

Thank you to all CIPA members who attended. College was planned for YOU. It was gratifying to see so many of you there, to meet you, and to hear about your book projects.

Anne R. Fenske, 2008 CIPA College Dean
