I promise, this is my last post about BEA and on Monday I'll be back to book reviews—providing I can get my brain to work again. Today I just wanted to share photos of some of the other aspects of the trip. In case you think going to conferences is all glamour and fun, it may be fun but there is nothing glamorous about walking…and walking…and walking. My pal April was ... Read More...
BEA: Books and Authors
Whether you are going to a trade show as a buyer or an industry professional it is standard to have a game plan. And then watch it get blown to pieces as company representatives pitch you what they want to sell.
