Our ShopTalk sessions are an open conversation for booksellers and bookstore owners to come together for connection, support, community, share best practices and resources, talk about their business, & crowdsource ideas & solutions to problems. 
The last 15 minutes of the session will be reserved for a larger group discussion, with the rest of the time set aside for smaller breakout groups. All attendees should come prepared to engage in conversation and Booksellers who fit in more than one group will have the ability to move between breakout rooms.
