Affinity Groups, Walking Buddies, & Ask the Experts!
​

Take advantage of the opportunity to weave a web of community at the Fall Tradeshow. Whether your existing or envisioned group is based on a shared interest (like...knitting!) or identity (such as LGBTQIA+, POC, etc), Affinity Group gatherings offer the chance to meet, share support, and launch new ideas within the bookselling community and beyond. Let us know what group or interest you'd like to see on the schedule by booking space via the button below.​

This year, we have reserved space for show attendees that can be booked in slots of 30-60 minutes. If you'd like to request a bit more time, or if your group topic is sensitive and you'd prefer a little more privacy between group sessions, please let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.
