IPI Attends BEA

IPI attended BookExpo America (BEA) 2010, which was held at the Jacob K. Javits Center in NYC. BEA is the premier book trade event in North America with 1,500 exhibitors, 500 authors, and well over 20,000 attendees. This year, the exhibition hall was open for two days mid-week; traditionally exhibitors have three days to mix, mingle, and promote their new titles and products. Throughout the show, IPI attended sessions about the future of publishing — particularly focusing on new digital capabilities — and continued those conversations with agents, editors, and publishing professionals in a myriad of meetings.
