"One of my goals for NVNR 2023 was to learn how to deal with industry challenges and how to squeeze a little bit out of profit to make my business sustainable while continue my commitment to pay a liveable wage."
--NVNR 2023 Attendee

Attending a conference is a commitment not just of money but of time and resources. For small businesses, it may even require hiring extra staff or simply closing the store for a few days, so it is important to make the most of your opportunities at the event. The NVNR conference can be the most valuable time you spend all year long if you go with a plan and a few clear goals. 

Goals can be as broad as "find new books to stock" and as specific as "open three new accounts with publishers" or "find one new author for an event." If you align your goals for the conference with those you have for your bookstore -- say, "increasing our social media presence" or "expanding our genre fiction sections" -- it will help to focus your time and effort and make your goals easier to realize.
