This session is exclusively designed for publishers and led by events managers from bookstores with longstanding histories of successful events. Booksellers will present how events (virtual, hybrid, and in-person) have evolved since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020 through today. They will investigate factors that impact the new needs of bookstores and customers as they pertain to events and school visits, and share solutions that cultivate cross-industry collaboration so that bookstores, event participants, authors, and publishers have their needs met now and into the future.
