Users Groups to Convene at BEA

The American Booksellers Association's schedule of educational offerings at BookExpo America doesn't end with Thursday's "Day of Education." Informational sessions continue on Friday and Saturday, June 1 - 2. Among the programs on Friday at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center are two Users Group Meetings: a BookSense.com Users Group Meeting and a Book Sense Gift Cards Users Group Meeting.

BookSense.com Users Group Meeting

The BookSense.com Users Group meeting, moderated by BookSense.com staff, will be held on Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. in Room 1B05 of the convention center. BookSense.com users will learn about the latest features of BookSense.com, as well as planned enhancements. There will also be a question-and-answer period. Non-BookSense.com stores are welcome to attend.

Book Sense Gift Cards Users Group Meeting

The Book Sense Gift Cards Users Group meeting, moderated by ABA Marketing Director Jill Perlstein, will be held from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. also in the Javits Center's Room 1B05. Current gift card program participants will learn about enhancements to the program's security, administrative site, and card ordering system. They will also get a sneak peak at a new publisher-sponsored card and will learn about new designs for the holiday season. Booksellers are encouraged to bring questions and suggestions. Those who are considering joining the gift card program are welcome to attend.
