Children’s Institute Registration Extended

Due to popular demand, the American Booksellers Association is extending registration for the Children’s Institute at BookExpo America until May 11. An additional but limited number of spaces at the June 6 day-long event are now open exclusively to booksellers at ABA member stores, but they are expected to sell out quickly. Booksellers who are interested in attending should register as soon as possible.

The Children’s Institute combines ABA’s in-depth education sessions and roundtable discussions with a special package of popular author events, including:

• A table seat at the BEA Children’s Breakfast
• The Speed Dating Lunch With Children’s Authors
• The ABA/CBC Tea With Children’s Authors and Illustrators
• A ticket to the Annual Children’s Art Auction and Reception, presented by the ABC Group and the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression; and,
• Priority seating at ABA’s Wednesday education sessions

Registration is $99 for ABC Group member booksellers (a $199 value) and $149 for all other ABA member booksellers (a savings of $100 that includes automatic membership in the ABC Group). The Kids’ Institute education program is free and open to all ABA members; registration is not required for ABA members who wish to attend the education program only.
