St. Paul/East Metro Area Community Guides to Be Distributed to Republican Convention Attendees

Posted on: Friday, 29 August 2008, 18:00 CDT

ELGIN, Ill., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The 6,000+ delegates and attendees to the Republican National Convention next week will easily find their way around the Twin Cities via their mobile devices and laptops, with help from the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to distributing print copies of its new 2008-2009 St. Paul/East Metro Area Community Guide, just produced by Chamber publisher Village Profile(R), the Guide is available online through Village Profile's(R) Convergence Publishing Program(R).

The online version of the publication includes everything in the printed magazine. Free downloadable NewView eBooks(R) of the publication and links to contact information about local businesses, can be accessed at http://www.villageprofile.com/

Convention-goers with smartphones, web-enabled cellphones, laptops and other mobile devices can also find local businesses by name or business type at http://www.vpmobile.us/, where there is an online mobile directory of the Chamber's nearly 2,000 member businesses.

The magazine, published annually by the Chamber, provides information for visitors to the Saint Paul/East Metro area, as well as residents and local businesses. The Tourism, Shopping & Dining, Arts & Culture, and Sports & Recreation sections will direct convention-goers and the army of news journalists expected for the nearly week-long event to attractions and venues while they're not pursuing and covering convention activities.

And for those who would rather access such information online or on their mobile devices, they can do so through Village Profile's Convergence Publishing technology.

Elgin, Illinois-based Village Profile(R), observing its 20th anniversary in 2008, has published the annual Saint Paul Chamber's Community Guide and membership directory since 2004. It incorporated its Convergence Publishing Program(R) with the print project in 2005, and will introduce Village Profile's latest technology feature, the Convergence Business Network(R), with the 2008-2009 edition. The Saint Paul Chamber can be reached at 651-223-5000; Village Profile(R) at 800-600-0134, ext. 220.
