It's not often that there are multiple events that are so well matched, in the same place, at the same time. Meet up in Chicago, October 5-7, and you'll have access to four conferences: Registration for DOCUMENT, PARCEL, BFMA and Mailing Systems Technology conferences allows you to cross over into any of the sessions. Green elements include:
  • Exhibitors which have green solutions
  • Greening the Document Center for Less (DOCUMENT)
  • Making the Move to Biodegradable Packaging (PARCEL)
  • Many sessions on moving paper to electronic communications and forms (all events) and consolidating shipments to reduce transportation costs (PARCEL)
  • And of course, one trip to a "Grand Slam" of events saves lots of resources!
