The education schedule for NVNR August has been built around topics booksellers have asked for and issues they are currently facing. Each day features at least two education sessions, and at least one "retreat." The schedule is balanced between guided sessions led by experienced booksellers and industry members and more networking-focused sessions like round table meetings, where booksellers share their experience with each other.

Monday, 8/8

Self-funding Your Store's Growth: Growth is not just measured in square footage. Hear how booksellers plan for and fund growth in their business.

*Hospitality: TLC of Event Planning. You can stand out among the crowd when you apply tender loving care for authors, guests, publicists and your own staff.

Tuesday 8/9

Today's Virtual Needs: While there will be opinions on the value and financial success with virtual and hybrid events, knowing the best ways to do it and tech for it is still important.

Responding to Hate: Booksellers are on the frontline of social justice. Hear how they protect staff, and adapted SOP to negate the hate.

Wednesday 8/10

POS and EDI services: This session gives you the chance to jump into a room and ask any questions to POS and Pubeasy teams. Whether you are looking for a system or want to know how your current system can make life easier, this user-focused time is just what you need. Don't miss the Pubnet & Pubeasy room to see how it fits into the POS ordering workflow.

*Buying Criteria: You can’t stock everything. How should your store’s mission and/or your community’s demographics inform your buying? How do you decide what to buy or not? Reduce decision fatigue, unconscious bias, etc. by creating buying criteria in advance and fine-tuning them over time.

*Presentation is part of a module offered by the Professional Booksellers School
