File Formats
We accept print-ready full color files at 300+ dpi at 100%. Outline all fonts and embed all images. Preferred file submission format: High res PDF.

We DO NOT accept files in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, CorelDraw, QuarkXpress or Publisher. Files that do not meet our digital requirements will be sent back for revisions. All insertions are subject to approval for appropriate subject matter.

Notes for Designers and Copywriters
The shelf life for our magazines is long and while ads are sometimes repurposed from PBWC's day-of-event conference programs, it is important to remember that print and digital editions of the magazine are often referenced and shared by readers throughout the year. Digital (pdf) editions are permanently archived on our website. We recommend that you take this into account for special offers and web links you use in your ads.

To mention PBWC in copy, including text saluting PBWC's 20th anniversary year, the correct usage is “Professional BusinessWomen of California” in the first mention with no space between “Business” and “Women”, followed by "PBWC" in subsequent mentions. When mentioning PBWC’s magazine in the ad copy, please use “PBWC Connections” or “PBWC Connections magazine.”

Submitting AD files
Three required submission items: (1) your creative, (2) a print-ready full color logo, and (3) the website you would like to list on the back cover. Call 866-496-8028 to notify us that a file has been sent.

To submit large files, we recommend using a www.yousendit.com. FTP upload option is also available if you have FTP client software installed. For questions or the server and login information for FTP just give us a call.
