The annual Western Association of University Publication Managers (WAUPM) convention is usually held in a great spot, but this year’s event – right in the middle of San Diego’s bustling Gaslamp District – will be tough to beat next year. There aren’t many events where we get a chance to pitch Gryphon on the deck of a WWII aircraft carrier, so naturally we had to attend.

As usual, the conversation & food were outstanding, and a tip of our tinfoil hat is due to hosts (and WAUPM presidential figures) Arvli Ward from UCLA and Melissa Lalum from Cal State Northridge for their organizational efforts. WAUPM offers a chance for us to talk with a sizable portion of the Gryphon user base all at the same time, and the result, as in years past, would be worth the trip – even if our users weren’t fun to hang out with ;)

Thanks to WAUPM, and especially the Gryphon users within. We appreciate your collective & continuing support.
