The IndieCommerce Institute, which debuted in Chicago yesterday, drew close to 70 booksellers who took part in a day of intensive work focused on building a better website and developing e-commerce.
The event, sponsored by the Ingram Content Group, offered three educational tracks based on booksellers’ experience with their IndieCommerce websites — introductory, more experienced, and master class.
Booksellers in Track 1 at the IndieCommerce Institute prepare to begin a full day of programming, developed specifically for new users and those who needed a refesher course.

It was a fully wired day at the IndieCommerce Institute, as booksellers powered up their laptops and participated in an interactive, online learning experience.
