NVNR Bookseller/Publisher "Publicity Meet-Ups"

Fostering bookseller-publisher connection is central to the New Voices New Rooms conference. To that end, NVNR is strongly promoting meetings between attendees and exhibitors, both on and off the exhibit floor.

Inspired by NVNR's popular "Publicity Speed Dating" events, these Publicity Meet-Ups are focused on creating opportunities for bookstores to expand their events programs, and for publishers to discover new venues for their authors. NVNR provides the space and the ability to schedule one-on-one meet ups.

Booksellers: Come prepared with copies of your publicity kits and ready to pitch your event programs. See examples of publicity kits at NAIBA and SIBA.

Publishers: Build in time for one-on-one meetings in your schedule, and be prepared to open new accounts. Update your exhibitor listing with your scheduling links and contact information.

Setting up meetings: Booksellers and publishers are able to contect connect to each other directly via the conference app. The app launches on 7/15, and will be covered at the orientations for booksellers and exhibitors.

Meetings can take place on or off the exhibit floor. NVNR will have dedicated space for quieter meetings in the Grand Ballroom North Foyer.

Coming to NVNR is a big commitment of time and financial and emotional investment. NVNR's Publicity Meet-Ups is one more way to get that ROI.
