![Printer-friendly version Printer-friendly version](https://www.bookweb.org/sites/all/modules/contrib/print/icons/print_icon.png)
Registration for the American Booksellers Association’s inaugural IndieCommerce Institute (ICI), which opened last Wednesday, continues until July 14 or until the program tracks are filled, whichever comes first. The event, sponsored by the Ingram Content Group, will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 10, in Rosemont, Illinois, minutes from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
Booksellers at ABA member stores can still register for one of three educational tracks based on their experience with the bookstore’s IndieCommerce website — introductory, more experienced, and master class. (Find out which track is right for you.) Each track is capped to help create an engaging and interactive learning environment. (Because of the subject matter and the structure of the master class programming, applicants must apply and may not qualify for a very limited number of spots. However, registrants who do not qualify are encouraged to attend Track I or II instead.)
The registration cost per person is $149 for the introductory and experienced tracks, and $199 for the master class. The cost for all tracks includes lunch.
Accommodations are available at the Sheraton Chicago O’Hare Airport, the ICI’s host hotel, for the night of Tuesday, August 9, at the discounted rate of $119, plus city and state taxes. All rooms are non-smoking double suites. Booksellers who want take advantage of the discounted rate must indicate their desire to stay at the hotel on the ICI registration form on BookWeb.org. (Reservations made directly with the hotel will not receive the conference rate.)
Attendees who choose to fly on American Airlines can receive a five percent discount with a special promotional code for the IndieCommerce Institute.
