IBPA Publishing University 2011

POSTED BY babs ON March 24, 2011
 

What do Twitter, book apps, ebook production, speed-dating, e-reading, Google, your own private consulting session, the Javits Center and a Beatles tribute band have in common? 

IBPA Publishing University 2011

 

Where is it?
 NEW LOCATION – Announcing a new location at the Javits Center in New York City, right in the heart of the book buzz and excitement of BookExpoAmerica (BEA) and easily accessible no matter where you’re traveling from.  All the events, all the sessions and the Benjamin Franklin Awards are in one place, making it that much easier for you to network with old friends and new colleagues!
 
When is it?  
NEW TIME Sunday and Monday, May 22-23, just prior to (and in the same location as) BEA
