NEW ALPSP workshops publicist 18 Sep 2009 12:11 UTC

                    NEW ALPSP workshops in North America.

With a maximum of 20 delegates per event our workshops are
personal and highly participative, with plenty of time for
questions and answers incorporated into each programme.

‘ALPSP training courses are our first choice: they provide
small group interactive training using real publishing staff
as trainers. The courses are relevant, affordable and
related to real publishing experiences’

We currently have places remaining on all events:

30 Sept 09 - Web 2.0: Why it matters and what you need to
know - a practical guide,  Washington DC

This hands-on course will clear away any perceptions that
Web 2.0 is a mix of confusing jargon and technology, and
demonstrate how Web 2.0 thinking and tool use can help
publishers to become more successful.
