ABA Education Meetups feature a rotating selection of bookstore education programming on the second Thursday of every month.
ABA's Lightning Talk series features three booksellers presenting 5-10 minute talks on tech tools, organizational strategies, communication methods, or innovations they’ve made in their stores. Each presentation will be followed by time for Q&A and discussion.
The October 12 meeting will feature:
Lane Jacobson (Paulina Springs Books) on Employee Retention
Chelsia Rice (Montana Book Company) on Hosting Drag Story Hour
Clark Mason (Vroman's Bookstore) on E-commerce Fraud Protection
For events requiring registration, registration links are visible to logged-in, ABA bookseller members only.
