  • It's Conference Time!

    17 Apr 2008
    <B>It's Conference Time!</B>Are you planning to attend the Community Papers of Florida (CPF) annual conference scheduled at the Renaissance Airport Hotel in Orlando May 1-3?

    If you are, plan on a busy training schedule, great food and beverages, a golf outing, and the opportunity to win a lot of cash and prizes.

    To top it off, if you are a member of a publication that participates in the CPF classified network, the association is picking up the tab. When you check into the hotel you will be asked for a credit card to pay for the incidentals that you may charge to the room, but the cost of the room is paid for by CPF!
