With a stellar lineup of topics, this year's Graduate School proved to be the most exciting and informative ever!
A dynamic and impressive slate of experts did justice to this educational forum that gives midsized publishers the unique opportunity not just to learn from the speakers, but to learn from each other.
PMA/IBPA developed this forum in which you can join other publishing professionals to ask questions, discuss challenges and achievements, and plan for the future of your company. You should attend PMA Graduate School if you are:
- a management executive in a thriving independent publishing company with several new titles in production and an active backlist;
- a veteran of the PMA Publishing University;
- successful in meeting the challenges of the industry;
- ready to lead your business to the next step in its growth.
This year's event is now concluded. Be sure to watch for updates and information regarding next year's educational event!
