Our 18th Annual Conference on April 26 was a great success. We had outstanding attendance at the advertising, management, editorial and design training sessions. The day culminated with the 2007 GAMMA Awards dinner. Congratulations to all the Bronze, Silver, and Gold winners, and to Paste Magazine, winner of the Grand GAMMA Award.

“Congratulations again on the 2007 MAGS Conference. The sessions I attended were very worthwhile and the speakers excellent. I've brought back plenty of ideas to begin implementing.”

“You are to be commended for putting together such an outstanding annual conference for MAGS. Stephen Pia was the best sales trainer that I have heard in several years of attending MAGS conferences. He is focused, relevant, practical and inspirational. The two afternoon sessions on the web and web-based marketing were especially helpful, as they provided the audience with many practical tools that can be immediately applied to improve our visibility on search engines -- and most of these tools are free.

Thanks again for putting on a very rewarding conference.”
Ron Starner
General Manager
