I’m at the
IRgA/ERA Convention in Atlanta, and I’m at the convention because HP invited a
couple of “press” people to the convention, and I’m one of those.
  I am considered “press” because of the
Reprographics 101 Blog.
  HP paid my
travel expenses and my convention registration fee.
  (Thank you, HP, for doing that!)
When I was
at the restaurant tonight, where convention participants were gathered for
food, drink and lots of discussion, nine or 10 people came up to me to ask me
if I had become an employee of HP.  The
first time that happened, I asked that person where he got the idea that I was
now employed by HP, and he pointed to my convention name badge, saying, “HP is
below your name.”   I did not realize
that until that was pointed out to me, since I did not bother to look at what
was on my badge when I picked it up at registration.  So, an “aha” moment.
I am
employed by Proactive Management Programs, LLC, which is my consulting
practice, and, as most people know, I’m the Publisher of the Reprographics 101
Blog.
Although I
very much appreciate HP paying my way to attend this year’s IRgA/ERA
Convention, that does not create any sort of bias on my part, and I know that
HP understands that.  As a blog-publisher
I do my best to report the news – and to express my opinions – in an unbiased
fashion.
Thank you,
