BookExpo America continues to feature a number of new initiatives for the 2001 event which have been developed with an eye towards the future in mind. BookExpo America is committed to act as a flexible springboard for all market constituents to conduct business, as a collegial classroom to educate and inform, and as a marked foundation to communicate industry trends that will lead to the prosperity of all members of the book community.

 BEA continues targeted programs which have been in the works since the end of the successful ‘00 event to assure a successful convention for everyone. This year the BEA show floor will again feature the Spanish Language Pavilion: Sponsored by Criticas, the Licensing Arena, and the Electronic Publishing & Technology Pavilion: Sponsored by the Open eBook Forum. As always we’re pleased to continue to bring the venues, which will also give you the opportunity to see the latest authors who plan to take the world by storm.

As you’ll note in the attached press release, Wynton Marsalis, Isabel Allende, John F. Welch, Quincy Jones, David McCullough, Vernon Jordan, Joyce Carol Oates and Sebastian Junger are just a few authors who will be on-hand at this year’s event. As a member of the media, over the next few months we’ll continue to keep you posted on all BEA events, as well as anything and everything that might light a spark of a story for you. With participants from all walks of the book business expected at this year’s show, you’ll have the opportunity to get a first-hand look at where the book publishing business is at and where it is headed.

With all of this in mind, it’s not too early to start making your plans to attend BookExpo America, which will make its way to Chicago’s McCormick Place Complex in Chicago, IL. May 30- June 3, 2001. In order to help you plan for your visit, I’ve included a copy of hotel and travel options for you in Chicago. And by pre-registering for the event in advance, you’ll be assured that your badge and special event tickets will be ready and waiting for you in the press office as soon as you arrive.
