ABA Staff Heads to Winter Institute

The next edition of Bookselling This Week will arrive in your inbox late Thursday afternoon, January 25, with reports and photos from the American Booksellers Association’s Winter Institute 13 in Memphis. We’ll be there with more than 650 booksellers, nearly 60 international guests from 10 countries, and hundreds of authors, publisher sponsors, and service providers.

Next week’s edition of Bookselling This Week will feature coverage of keynote presentations from Sarah Jessica Parker and Pamela Paul, Dan Pink, Junot Diaz, and Amy Webb; ABA’s Town Hall Meeting; and plenty of photos from the Welcome Reception, Author Reception, and numerous networking events.

The issue of January 25 will be just the beginning of BTW’s Winter Institute 13 coverage, as we’ll be providing in-depth reporting on many education sessions in the weeks to follow.

Please note that throughout the institute, and in the days leading up to it and following, many members of the ABA staff will have limited access to e-mail and may be delayed in their responses.

In addition, IndieCommerce users may experience a delay in receiving a reply to non-emergency support tickets that are submitted during Winter Institute. The IndieCommerce team will be closely monitoring tickets during Winter Institute, but staff obligations to booksellers at the event may delay replies.
