Navigating to NVNR: Why Regional Conferences Are Important

New Voices New RoomsWhat did I love about NVNR? Being able to talk directly to other bookstore operators, publisher reps, and vendor reps without a computer between us. Meeting people who I might be able to work with later.

Bookstores make many strategic decisions in the early part of the year, from planning their budget to setting  goals to grow their business. One of those decisions is which conferences or events they need to attend to help realize the goals they have set.

Regional conferences like New Voices New Rooms are important to independent bookstores, who look to them to:

  • meet both regional and national authors
  • meet their sales and publisher reps
  • connect with their fellow booksellers
  • attend education geared toward regional issues

And as they are smaller and within their own region, regional conferences are less expensive than national events and have more flexible options for registration and travel.
