Exhibitor Registration Form and Instructions
You’ll notice some exhibitor-friendly updates to the show schedule, as Education Day has been moved from the first day to the last, increasing the number of booksellers focused on the floor. The flip also allows exhibitors to pull up stakes by the end of day two, this year allowing a critical extra day between the back-to-back PNBA and MPIBA shows.

EXHIBITS OPEN: Sunday, Oct. 3, 4:30 - 7:00 pm and Monday, Oct. 4, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm.

We are offering a special 2021 membership rate of only $100.

New Features for 2021
This year each exhibitor will receive, at no extra charge, an expanded listing on the Tradeshow page of our website with up to three links per table/booth purchased. These links may be used for your show specials, your website, an Edelweiss list of your featured titles or anything else you wish. We will accept PDF files or links only. Later this summer we will email you more information about what these links are for and how to submit them. In the meantime, you can email your PDF's / links to Larry@pnba.org
The Big Pitch rep's pick of the list will be from 12:50 - 4:20 pm on Sunday, Oct 4 - with no competing programming!
Each spot will give you 9 minutes to highlight your new titles/products. Sideline vendors are welcome to participate as well. We have no other event planned for the same time period so you will have the full attention of our booksellers. Each 9 minute slot costs $150. We will send out a sign-up form in late July.
