The Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association will offer educational programming on the final day of its annual Tradeshow, this year to be held at the Red Lion on the River in Portland, OR.
Our Education Committee will review proposals for educational presentations aimed at retail booksellers, librarians, authors and small press publishers.
If you would like to propose an educational session for the show, please complete this brief Education Proposal form. PNBA sincerely wishes for proposals from all positions and roles within the industry. More voices. More representation. More ideas!
Sessions should feature at least one PNBA member professional as a panelist or moderator. PNBA may be able to assist in finding appropriate booksellers, authors, or other literary professionals willing to participate in your proposed session. Please include requests for support in your submissions.
PNBA MUST RECEIVE EDUCATION PROPOSALS AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION BY FRIDAY, JULY 30.
The Education Committee traditionally prioritizes presentations for booksellers that offer direct advice and instruction that can be immediately and directly applied to the operations of their stores. Sales pitch presentations that are perceived to promote just one business solution or service are discouraged.
PNBA is also soliciting proposals for education aimed at librarians, small press publishers, and authors. We request that all sessions promote an atmosphere of cooperation among literary entities.
WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PROPOSALS THAT INSTRUCT AUTHORS OR PRESSES HOW TO PUBLISH, PROMOTE, OR SELL BOOKS THROUGH AMAZON OR OTHER CHANNELS THAT COMPETE WITH THE INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE MARKET.
Committee members will contact presenters via email to schedule sessions and secure details for production of the show program, show signage, and classroom set-up.
