U.S. Book Show will do what PW does best:
build buzz around books!
Open to librarians and booksellers, book media, the book publishing community and allied vendors and publishing professionals, attendees will enjoy a wide array of editor, book and author panels; topical library panels; professional programming geared to publishing professionals; networking opportunities and awards celebrations; and robust exhibit halls featuring publishers, big and small.
All editorial programming, author events and discussions, the exhibit hall and keynote addresses are included in the price of your ticket. Tickets also include on-demand access to all of the programming and content for three months.
Hear the “story behind the story” directly from editors of forthcoming fall 2021 books in close-up panels spanning eight categories. Carefully selected by PW editors, these are the books you want to know about.
Prepare to be inspired! Keynotes and author panels will feature a diverse mix of speakers and authors discussing important topics and upcoming books with expert moderators.
Special programming is devoted to librarians and industry professionals. A slate of panels covers issues facing the publishing industry. Rapid fire sessions with a strong, wide-ranging lineup of librarians, authors, and thought leaders weigh in on the most important issues facing libraries—and our nation.
