The New Voices New Rooms Conference is only a few weeks away! To ensure a great experience at NVNR, registered booksellers should take a moment to log in to their attendee app and click on “My NVNR” to make sure the following information is up to date before the conference:

1. Double-check your Name, Bookstore, City, and State information. These will appear on your show badge as they are listed in your NVNR account.

2. Update your Meal Preference. NVNR prioritizes a vegetarian menu. If you wish to change to a Meat/Fish option, you can do so here. You can also let NVNR know about any dietary restrictions you have.

3. Let NVNR know about any accessibility requirements or concerns conference organizers should be aware of.

4. Update your shipping address for books you request from the Galley Room, and edit your list of requested books.

5. Click on “My Bus Tours” to choose which tour you plan to attend. There are six tours, but space is very limited. Purchase a Bus Tour ticket if you don't have one.

6. Join the NVNR Discord community. This is the place to virtually meet up with your bookseller colleagues before and during the show.

7. Sign up for a bookseller retreat. This year, there are five retreats available on Sunday: Owner’s Retreat, Owners Retreat (One Person Band), Children's Booksellers Retreat, Frontline Booksellers Retreat, General Managers Retreat.

8. Click on the Bookstore Directory and check your store listing. If it needs to be updated, click here.

9. Visit and revisit the Galley Room often to get a head start on building your book list

10. Decide which Genre Buzz topic you will be attending and familiarize yourself with the books on the list. Genre Buzz lists are viewable in the app, linked to Edelweiss collections in the schedule, and in downloadable PDFs. Printouts will be available on site.

Familiarize yourself with these things now to make your time at the conference run smoothly, so you have more time to focus on the things that are important to you: Meeting authors, meeting publishers, and most of all, meeting your fellow booksellers.
