The annual Booksellers Conference is a bookselling highlight. It’s a unique opportunity to come together as a community and hear from industry leaders; a chance to celebrate the highs and tackle the lows of the bookselling business together. We’re so pleased to share a preview into the programming and offer earlybird tickets exclusively to our Bookseller members.
What do we have in store?
We’ve got an amazing programme planned, including our opening keynote from Te Awhi Rito New Zealand Reading Ambassador Kate de Goldi, a masterclass in email marketing, the inaugural Children’s Book Week workshop and so much more. One hour has been allocated for the Bookseller Community Forum and the AGM. The full programme will be announced in May.
