Booksellers and Others Are Waiting

To help accommodate those on the waiting lists for Winter Institute 8 [1], the American Booksellers Association is asking registered booksellers who are no longer planning to attend, and all registrants who no longer need their hotel reservations, to contact the association [2] as soon as possible. Those on the waiting lists will be notified on a first-come, first-served basis when cancellations are received.

Booksellers can add their names to the waiting list to register here [3] and for the host hotel, the Westin Kansas City at Crown Center, here. [4]

Registrants are encouraged to check the Winter Institute website, wi8.bookweb.org [5], often for updated information, including the growing list of authors [6] who will be taking part in the February 22 – 25 event in Kansas City, Missouri.

Wi8’s program of more than 25 education sessions, plenary speakers, peer advisory groups, reps’ picks lunches, publisher meetings, and special events, is made possible by the overall support of the Ingram Content Group, Wi8’s lead sponsor, and the support of more than 40 large and small publishers [7].
