The video recordings of Wednesday's NVNR 2023 Orientation sessions for Exhibitors and Booksellers are now available to watch. Conference organizers share their vision for a re-imagined show and a radically re-invented space and program designed to encourage building real-world connections between booksellers, their colleagues, and their vendors.

And here are some fun tips for conference goers that came up in the chat discussion during the orientation:

• Save the Attendee App link to your phone home screen so it is easy to find and access
• Write your emergency contact info on the reverse of your badge. If you keep such information in your phone it may be inaccessible when needed.
• Sit with people you don't know
• Tip for tired feet: carry wet wipes and take your shoes off (somewhere private…we don’t needs to see your feets) and wipe them down and put your socks and shoes back on. You feel instantly refreshed!!
• If you have business cards, bring them! Hand them out with abandon!
• Use digital biz cards! They're really easy to use and share and update. Two companies mentioned were HiHello, Linq)
