New Voices New Rooms, SIBA’s annual conference in partnership with NAIBA, will represent 2024’s largest gathering of SIBA booksellers in one place over four days. This is an important opportunity for members to connect with SIBA’s Board of Directors directly on issues that are important to them. Throughout our conference, members of our Board will be available to meet with SIBA bookseller members, either at scheduled events or in private meetings. 

Scheduled opportunities: 

• Coffee & Coloring Meetup on Friday 4:00-5:00 PM, Arlington Foyer
• Focus on Editors reception on Saturday 5:00-6:30 PM, Skyview
• SIBA Town Square on Sunday 9:00-10:00 AM, Salon 6

Off the Schedule opportunities:

• At the conference: Visit our on-site registration desk and request a meeting with the Board. The Board will be contacted and work with you to meet up at a mutually convenient time.
• Schedule in Advance: Email candice@sibaweb.com and they will let the Board know you’d like to set up an appointment at the conference.

More about our Town Square: SIBA and the Board have transformed our Town Hall meeting into a Town Square format. After a presentation on the State of SIBA and current Board work, the meeting will transform from presentation to interaction, with the SIBA Board and staff at tables around the room to meet with members on specific areas of interest: advocacy with our industry partners, membership benefits, SIBA governance (how we operate), professional development opportunities, and more.

Please make time to visit with the Board during the conference. Your voice matters and makes our community and our Board’s work more attuned to our member needs.

There is still time to register!
