Bologna Children's Book Fair - 15% Off for IBPA Members https://www.ibpa-online.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=874380 https://www.ibpa-online.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=874380 IBPA Members: Save 15% on Single-Title Display at the Bologna Children's Book Fair by Exhibiting with Foreword Reviews!

Books can be registered online here. Consult your IBPA Membership Benefits Handbook for the IBPA discount code.

The best foreign rights exposure for children's books publishers is the annual Bologna Children's Book Fair: nearly 25,000 international professional trade reps and agents from 75 countries scout for gems and do deals on a 20,000 square meter show floor. In Bolognese book-speak, children's books means picture books, and the show floors of the Bologna fiere are awash with some of the most astounding art and artists anywhere.

Under the best of circumstances, by exhibiting in Bologna, your top titles might generate rights interest with publishers from several countries (typically, a foreign rights deal includes a non-refundable advance and a royalty rate of 7–8%). So, with no out of pocket expense—except for the exhibit fee to have your title displayed at the Foreword Reviews booth through a special promotion for IBPA members—you stand to earn an unexpected windfall.

Representatives from Foreword Reviews direct visiting agents and reps to the appropriate shelves (books are arranged by genre) and collect business cards and contact information when interest in a certain title is expressed. Foreword will then pass on the contact info to the corresponding publisher. Your title will also receive a listing in the online version of the show guide; rigorously studied by agents before and after the actual event.


How to register:

Fee per title is generally $215 each, but IBPA members pay only $182.75 with a special discount code. Download the current Membership Benefits Handbook for a list of all discount codes. Once you have the discount code, click here to register directly with Foreword.

BookExpo 2020 https://www.ibpa-online.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=874379 https://www.ibpa-online.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=874379 IBPA to focus on educational sessions, one-on-one meetings, and member networking during BookExpo 2020.

During its June 20, 2018 meeting, the IBPA Board of Directors agreed IBPA members were well served by its decision to forego cooperative booth display at BookExpo 2018. This decision was maintained in 2019 and will be maintained in 2020, as well.

On September 25, 2017, the IBPA Board of Directors announced their inital decision to forego cooperative book display at BookExpo. This decision came after months of deliberation and several dedicated conversations between IBPA and BookExpo brought on by a disappointing 2017 program. On June 20, 2018, the Board decided to hold onto its intitial decision going into the 2019 show. As of July 26, 2019, a cooperative book display is not planned for BookExpo 2020. Instead, IBPA will continue to focus on educational sessions, one-on-one meetings, and member networking.

ALA Annual Conference - IBPA Member Benefit https://www.ibpa-online.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=874376 https://www.ibpa-online.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=874376 IBPA is Honored to Represent Member Titles at the 2020 ALA Annual Conference

Let IBPA take your books to the 2020 American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois!

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER YOUR BOOKS!

Over 10,000 librarians attend the ALA Annual Conference each year in order to save time and money by reviewing the books and services put on display by the hundreds of onsite vendors.

The focus of IBPA's participation in the ALA Annual Conference is to provide title visibility to acquisition librarians. IBPA members can purchase single-title display ($185/title) or full-shelf display ($725/shelf) in our Cooperative Booth at the ALA Annual Conference. Since IBPA has been attending the ALA Annual Conference for over 20 years, we have first pick of preferable space on the show floor. If you display with IBPA you won't be stuck in the back corner of the exhibit lot: you'll be up front and center where you belong.

In addition to onsite book display, those who sign up for single-title and full-shelf display and meet the submission deadline are added to our onsite book catalog, which includes book title, ISBN, price, cover art, company name, and website. There are many ways to gather exposure for your book(s) as part of IBPA’s Cooperative Booth. To help facilitate onsite marketing, all publishers displayed in IBPA’s Cooperative Booth will receive a FREE pass to the conference. While onsite you can participate in a book signing, attend an educational session, or simply mix-and-mingle with the librarians and vendors onsite.

DEDICATED BOOTH SPACE: For those IBPA members with larger collections, dedicated booth space can also be purchased. Because IBPA has been attending the ALA Annual Conference for over 20 years, dedicated booth space through IBPA -- either a full booth (10x10) or half booth (5x10) -- generally yields better placement on the exhibit floor. Members interested in renting dedicated booth space should contact IBPA chief operations officer Terry Nathan at terry@ibpa-online.org or 310-546-1818.
