Starting Wednesday, May 29 – Saturday, June 1, in NYC, BookExpo America (BEA) will be running three full days of Exhibits and four full days of Conferences and Special Events. BEA is the #1 event in North American publishing and the ideal place for content creators and consumers to discover new books/titles, meet favorite and new authors, learn about trends shaping the book industry, and network with those have a passion for books and reading.
