SGC - Kansas City

Wow! It's been almost a year since the Southern Graphics Council conference in Madison, WI, so here we are gearing up for this year's show in Kansas City.

Online registration is available this year by going to http://sgc.kcai.edu/registration.html . There's alot to do at the conference, and it's geared for everybody, so plan on attending, you'll be glad you did.
