Heads of Houses
The Board of Directors/Heads of Houses meet twice per year, plus engage in networking throughout the year.
At our in-person/hybrid meetings, they enjoy sharing updates with one another, learning from one another’s successes and disappointments, offer advice to one another and generally enjoy fellowship in the meeting as well as over meals. Sometimes we invite a speaker on a topic of general interest. Other times, it is just the Heads of Houses themselves.
Our next Heads of Houses/Board of Directors Meeting will be held October 26 & 27, 2023 at the offices of Judson Press, 1075 1st Avenue, King-of-Prussia, PA 19406.

Here's an example of just one of the many reasons to attend our 2024 Annual Conference.
Door prizes were given out at our 2023 conference. FrontGate Media offered a free Women’s Blogger Network campaign package. It was won by Pentecostal Resources Group and you can see the results here.
Third Thursdays Webinars
Each month PCPA hosts a one-hour webinar, free to staff of member companies, on a topic of interest to those working in publishing and media. Pre-registration is required.
Other Events of Note
Many of our member companies host events of note, and there are many publishing industry events that may be helpful. As we are notified of these opportunities, they may be listed here.
The staff from PCPA member companies often remark that the opportunity to attend events, both in-person and virtually, is the number one reason they join PCPA and most have maintained their active membership for decades! All staff people from PCPA Publishing Company Members automatically have the opportunity to attend our events, whether in a conference room or via video conferences. PCPA events allow you to:
