Winter Institute Registration Reminder

ABA member booksellers can register for the Second Annual Winter Institute, as well as make hotel reservations, through the association's trade website, BookWeb.org. The free education program will be held in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday and Friday, February 1 and 2, 2007.

The Winter Institute host hotel is the Doubletree Portland-Lloyd Center, where ABA has negotiated a special rate of $99 per night for attendees. All hotel reservations must be made through ABA; the hotel will not take direct reservations for this event. Booking is through the online form on the ABA site]. Event registration, which is being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, will be capped at 500 booksellers.

Education sessions and special events, which include most meals, fill the two-day event, so ABA is encouraging booksellers to arrive in Portland on Wednesday, January 31. Programming begins at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday with a Welcome Breakfast, followed by the plenary session, "A Whole New Mind," featuring bestselling author Daniel Pink.

A schedule and session descriptions are available on BookWeb.org.
