About the Conference:
This is the annual conference for the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA). We expect just under 300 people including general attendees, speakers, and sponsors. About 30% of attendees will be author publishers (self-publishers). The rest will be independent publishers publishing the work of others. Our keynote is being provided by Dominique Raach of Sourcebooks.
About the Librarian Panel:
This will be a breakout session panel. Three other breakout sessions will be occurring at the same time. The panel moderator is Sharon Castlen. You can read about Sharon here: sched.co/JDOF<https://sched.co/JDOF>. Sharon will coordinate the conversation once all panelists are confirmed.
What We're Looking For:
Two or three acquisition librarians who can talk about the practicalities of getting books into libraries.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Kelli
