Winter Institute Registration to Open in Mid-September

With preparations for the 10th anniversary celebration of the Winter Institute (Wi10) well underway, the American Booksellers Association has announced plans to open registration in mid-September. The Winter Institute will be held from February 8 – 11, 2015, at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina.

In addition to the institute’s core lineup of education and unparalleled networking opportunities, Wi10 will feature marquee keynote speakers, an indie retail crawl, nightly parties, and expanded author receptions.

Registration is capped at 500 booksellers and is open exclusively to ABA member stores. The limit is three people per member-company, so ABA is encouraging owners and managers to take the time these next few weeks to decide how many staff members will be attending.

The Winter Institute sells out fast; watch for registration updates on BookWeb and in Bookselling This Week in the coming weeks.

And a reminder: There’s still time for booksellers to show their creativity, and have a chance to win $150, in the Winter Institute 10 Design Contest. Learn more.
