Convention headquarters was the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel in downtown Tampa, across the Hillsborough River from the University of Tampa, where several sessions were held.
University of Tampa Press Director Richard Mathews, arranged for several sessions to take place at the Book Arts Studio, which has a Washington hand press and a Vandercook proof press plus numerous cases of type.
One of the speakers, Joe Diachenko, provided a PDF file containing his presentation "Print Differently," a discussion of graphic design & what not. Last year he spoke at the Portland convention on "Journal Design."
