It transpires that technology is less developed in Suffolk than in Patagonia.  As a result I've asked 'Woman Publisher of the Year' NPG's Managing Director Annette Thomas to write a few words...

Site licenses have revolutionised the way that researchers access content and numerous studies have shown that there is now more access to more content and at lower prices than ever before.  But this all a bit heavy for a Saturday morning, so on to the point of this posting.

Every summer Nature Publishing Group's site license business unit holds their annual sales conference.  For the past 3 years we've gathered together at the Ocean Resort and Spa on the New Jersey Coast.

Like most sales conferences the days are filled with a mix of work and play and everyone has a good time. The meeting is organised by the excellent Geoff Worton who heads up our world-class sales team.

This year we've changed venues and we'll be meeting at the Hudson Hotel in NYC. It looks very posh (and expensive) but I've been assured that we've negotiated a very good rate.

Yesterday I received the agenda of the meeting and to my shock/horror/surprise/delight I no longer have top billing on the program.  Apparently Richard will be attending and I've been relegated to introducing him.  What to say? What to say?  I'm appealing to readers of this blog to send me their suggestions.

Have a lovely weekend

Annette
