Escape the winter freeze – and head to FPPA’s 8^th Annual Convention in Hollywood Florida.  Located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami and easy to get to from any of the major airports, the area offers plenty of restaurants, nightlife, attractions and shopping - all just a short ride away.  With average February temperatures of a balmy 77 degrees during the day, and only 61 degrees in the evenings, South Florida offers the perfect environment to get re-charged and reenergized with new ideas to take on

the challenges of 2005 and beyond. The 8^th Annual Convention will bring together all segments of the pre-press industry as never before. The always-popular customer panel will be offered, and supplier presentations will be made by some of the most innovative companies in the industry.

With the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop, the Westin Diplomat Hotel is truly a spectacular site.  The Westin was built with all the modern conveniences you would expect, and with the highest standards in mind for safety and security. Additionally, the hotel features advanced technology including high speed Internet access, on command television with wireless keyboard and gaming, in room safe’s large enough to hold a laptop and much more.  Don’t delay in making your hotel reservations.  This is peak time for South Florida and the hotel will sell out.  FPPA’s rate of $289 is outstanding for this hotel, where average room rates are running around $340.  The hotel has extended its deadline to secure your reservation to Monday, January 31, 2005.  Call 1-800-627-9057.
