At the ABA Bookseller Forums, booksellers can meet with ABA staff and members of the ABA Board of Directors to discuss industry issues, voice their concerns and offer input on the future direction of ABA, receive updates on ABA programs and initiatives, and take part in ABA educational seminars.
ABA Spring Forums are generously sponsored by the Ingram Content Group.
ABA held 11 Spring Forums in 2011, beginning on February 24 in Houston, Texas, and ending in Buffalo, New York, on April 26. Here’s a look at the complete 2011 schedule; watch Bookselling This Week for news of the 2012 schedule.
