Dear Publishers, CEOs, Senior Decision-makers and Corporate Level Executives:

This past year has been one of the toughest on record. With housing, auto, banks, credit facilities, ad spends and consumer confidence all suffering, advertising and print media have had to re-engineer their business world to adapt.

Is it enough? Do you have questions or additional concerns? Would you like impartial supportive observations that may help you do more in the future? Would you like a confidential, no-frills executive forum from which to openly and securely discuss, strategize, and plot the future of your business? The Association of Free Community Papers is holding a two-day, one-night event in Charlotte, North Carolina for Publishers, CEOs, Senior Decision-makers and Corporate Level Executives to plan, discuss, and confer on how to make the best of the coming year.

This no frills; intense meeting will cover key topics in an open, confidential forum where you can drive to solutions in a non-competitive environment of folks just like you who are looking to improve performance over the outcome in this past year.

Registration is limited to the first 30 participants who confirm with the AFCP Office.

Our topics will include:

Save money: Have I re-engineered my business sufficiently to weather the economic storm? Have I explored all the avenues for cost savings?
Make Money: Where can I make money now? What is a new revenue stream we can leverage? What is the next big thing? What new products or look-of-the-book changes can I make to improve my company's financial position?
Internet: Is there really a simple way to make some money? Can I make money with a just a small investment? What are the opportunities available to me?
