With our convention fast approaching, we'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to one of our sponsors. We're sure you've heard of AP (and you'll have a chance to chat with them at the convention), but for now, here's a brief introduction they provided:
AP's worldwide reach, expertise and well-connected journalists mean AP produces news that very few can match but that everyone needs.
From Syria to every U.S. statehouse, we're committed to providing the news our customers need most and can most trust. In the U.S., local and state reporters drill into issues of high impact. They use databases and freedom of information law to report on corruption, questionable judgment, broken systems and hidden agendas.

Overseas, we've expanded our reach in critical areas: opening a bureau in North Korea, making AP the only Western news organization with a full-time multimedia office there, while also establishing a cross-format bureau in Eastern Europe to offer a competitive advantage in an underserved area.
Like our geographic reach, AP's footprint in mobile news continues to grow. AP Mobile, one of the highest-rated news apps in the iTunes store, hit the 12 million download mark last year; its popularity is evident with 97 percent of visitors returning regularly.
Our goal is to be nothing less than the global news leader. You can learn more about AP's products online at www.ap.org.
