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 has opted to hold a virtual event.

The American Booksellers Association, a national not-for-profit trade organization, works with booksellers and industry partners to ensure the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and to assist in expanding the community of the book.
Independent bookstores act as community anchors; they serve a unique role in promoting the open exchange of ideas, enriching the cultural life of communities, and creating economically vibrant neighborhoods.
