to announce plans for Forum 99, its Seventh Annual Printing and Imaging
Distribution Conference to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Pointe

today’s channel players. A full schedule of committee meetings and
manufacturer teams throughout the event will foster discussion and provide
insight on the future
of graphic arts distribution.
Set in a beautiful resort located in the the heart of the Southwest,
Forum 99 will also allow attendees and their families to participate in
exciting recreational events, including the Seventh Annual Golf and Tennis
Tournament, sightseeing tours and special evening activities. A full schedule
of companion activities will complement the program.
“As in previous years, Forum 99 will be the most valuable event focusing on distribution issues to take place in 1999,” according to NAGASA Membership Director Vickie Braxton Schulz. “With coverage of topics that are important to all NAGASA members, regardless of size or geographical location, Forum 99 will uphold the tradition of being the industry’s premier educational meeting.” Call, fax or e-mail NAGASA today to get more information about attending this highly rewarding event.
