For the first time in the history of ASBPE, we are having the national conference in my hometown of Kansas City. We've had an active ASBPE chapter here in Kansas City for the past five years, and our city has many vibrant B2B publishing companies. We look forward to having B2B journalists attend the event from all over the country. This year promises to be a hands-on and educational event, with many opportunities for networking and learning experiences.

While budgets are tight at many B2B companies, editors can't afford to miss this year's conference. By attending the event, editors can learn skills to help them to do their jobs more effectively. As an incentive to register early, ASBPE is offering an early-bird discount to attendees who register by July 13. Both members and nonmembers can save $80 off their full conference registration fees by sending in their form by this date. Editors can also save 10 percent if three or more people from the same publication register for the conference.

Don't miss your opportunity to attend the national conference July 24-25 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kansas City. Also, plan to arrive on Wednesday afternoon so you can attend the evening reception at the Intercontinental to celebrate the ASBPE Foundation. As an attendee, you can also go to the 30th annual awards banquet as well as the Royals game on Friday night. Reserve your spot now for this wonderful networking and educational opportunity.

Amy Fischbach is the national vice president of ASBPE and the conference committee chair.
