BEA 2010

Every year, publishers, authors, and other book industry folks gather at BookExpo America, or BEA. The largest publishing trade show in North America, BEA will feature 500+ authors, 1,500 exhibitors, hundreds of exciting upcoming titles, and a chance to get in on the latest and greatest in the book world.

This year, BEA will again be held at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York but has been reconfigured to a three-day, mid-week event, with the conference and special events held on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, and the show and conference taking place on May 26 and 27. Online registration is now open; check out BEA’s website for tons of information on the event.

If you can’t make it to BEA this year, then you might check the American Booksellers Association’s website to see if there is a regional trade show in your area. Most regional trade shows take place in the fall, so you have plenty of time to make your plans.
