We had such an incredible turnout last year, and a very affirmative Conference and social occasion, and we already know how much booksellers relish getting together, so we are very much looking forward to it.
We are delighted to work with our colleagues at Gardners once again. The Gardners team will be running the Trade Show on Sunday 22nd September, and we are grateful to them for sponsoring the Conference to allow booksellers to attend the event free of charge. Anyone that wants to come along to the Trade Show only, please sign up here: https://www.gardners.com/Visitor-Form1 or contact [email protected].”
We are also very grateful to all our other sponsors and supporters so far including Batch, Batchline, National Book Tokens, Bloomsbury, Harper Collins and The Independent Alliance (more to be announced).
