Call for Education

New! This year, we are putting out a call for education to crowdsource the topics that are the most pertinent to our members, and that our members feel most passionate about. Design your own session!

Our education committee seeks proposals for panel discussions and presentations about the nuts and bolts of bookselling, bookstore culture, technology, and publisher and industry relations. All presentations will be 45 minutes in length.

More information:

• Fully-formed proposals are welcome (including session titles, descriptions, and proposed panelists)
• We are also looking for ideas about what topics you would like to learn more about. 
• If you know of an expert that would make a great presenter, but do not have a specific session in mind, we alsw want to hear about them.
• All of our members are encouraged to participate. Booksellers, publishers, wholesalers, media, sidelines vendors: everyone is welcome to help shape the educational programming at #Heartland18. 

The deadline to submit is May 31, 2018 before 11:59 p.m. Don’t wait until the last minute to submit your #Heartland18 proposal!

All participating bookseller and publisher panelists must register to attend the trade show, and as such must work for a company that is a current member of either MIBA or GLIBA. Outside experts do not have to be members. 

If you have questions of any kind, please contact our education chair Larry Law.
