What is U.S. Book Show?

In its sixth year, the U.S. Book show is an in-person conference for publishing professionals. The conference will feature rich panels and discussions around issues impacting the industry. By design, there will be plenty of time to network during the day with an end-of-day networking reception planned.

What will the in-person experience be?

Attendees will enjoy live presentations and panels from thought-leaders, authors and keynote speakers with a closing keynote reception.

Will lunch be included?

Lunch is not included, but you have options.

Option 1: Pre-Order Lunch
Pick up your boxed lunch on site. Select your ticket with the lunch option for June 3 if you want this option. A “last call” email will be sent in May but early ordering during the registration process helps the organizers.

Lunch workshops will be offered as well as ample seating for those who wish to have a quieter, working lunch.

Option 2: BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch)
Central Park is directly across the street—ideal for BYOL or enjoying your lunch outdoors.

Option 3: Dine Out
There are plenty of nearby restaurants if you want to have lunch “off campus.” You can browse a comprehensive lunch map
here.

Do the attendees select who to listen to and when?

Two tracks will run simultaneously in separate rooms. Attendees can move between the two tracks as they wish to customize their listening and learning experience.
