Take Advantage of Your ABA Membership: Get Free Admission to BookExpo

Bookseller members of the American Booksellers Association are entitled to free badges to BookExpo 2018, which offers a full lineup of programming for bookseller members. Prices for non-member booksellers start at $100, so stores are encouraged to renew their ABA dues now to gain free entry to the industry’s biggest annual trade show. 

To receive a free badge to the show, booksellers will need to provide an ABA member ID number during the registration process. Booksellers who don’t know their ABA member ID number should send a request with their name, title, and store name to [email protected] or call (800) 637-0037, ext. 7536.

This year, ABA members will have special red lanyards that will identify them as independent booksellers.

Thanks to a significant financial commitment from Reed Exhibitions, ABA member booksellers can reserve rooms at the 2018 Hotel ABA — The New Yorker, a Wyndham Hotel — at a rate of $200 per night, including all taxes and fees (a $33 per night added value). The ABA member hotel rate is available for the nights of Sunday, May 27, through Sunday, June 3, 2018; however, the room block is limited and reservations will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The New Yorker Hotel is located at 481 Eighth Avenue in New York City, between 34th and 35th Streets. To access Hotel ABA reservation information, booksellers will need a BookWeb username and password (e-mail [email protected] for login details). The deadline to get this rate is May 14 or when the block sells out, whichever comes first.
