BookExpo & BookCon 2020 
Go Virtual

Free Opportunity for All Booklovers
May 26 - 31

An annual rite of spring for librarians, booksellers and booklovers is BookExpo America at New York City's Javits Center followed by BookCon. Instead of postponing or cancelling these eagerly anticipated, popular events, BookExpo and BookCon 2020 will be presented virtually from May 26 - 31. All booklovers are invited to attend sessions, and, for the first time, all sessions are free!

BookExpo will take place online May 26 - 29. Check out the ever-popular "Book Buzz" sessions, where publishers pitch what they think will be the hottest books coming out this fall. If you run a book club, or just want to get your name in first position on our hold list, "Book Buzz" is for you! If you'd prefer dinner at your house with a favorite author, The Adult Book and Author Dinner on May 27, from 5:30 - 7 p.m., will feature many names you'll recognize. Dinner with Children's and Young Adult Authors will follow on May 28 (same time). To register, click here.

This year's virtual "BookConline " will take place May 30 - 31, with panels featuring an amazing lineup of authors, both adult and YA. BookCon is where authors get to meet their readers, and readers turn into unabashed fans. To register, click here.

One of the perks of attending BookExpo and BookCon - as with most tradeshows - are the giveaways, including advance copies of not yet published books. This year, we expect that giveaway opportunities will be in the form of ebooks.

We hope you'll take advantage of this unique opportunity, and look forward to hearing about your experiences and discoveries of your next great reads!
