Each fall, the regional independent bookseller associations hold their annual trade shows. The American Booksellers Association exhibits at each show and typically presents one or more educational sessions that are open to all attendees. Booksellers register for the trade show directly with the regional association.

For 2020, each regional association will be deciding whether to hold an in-person or virtual event due to COVID-19. Updates will be listed below as available.
