Bookmanager Academy 2017 will be held June 8-11 in Kelowna, B.C., and feature three days of Bookmanager software and general bookselling education; round table discussion and brainstorming; social events and networking opportunities. A full itinerary of education sessions and parties will be released March 1. Deadline for registration is April 15.
The inaugural Bookmanager Academy was held in 2015 and drew nearly 100 booksellers from about 60 stores in Canada and the U.S. Organizers noted that this year they "are concentrating on giving more time to fewer education sessions, and allowing ample opportunity to enjoy the downtown and connect with your fellow book slingers. Who knows, we may even throw in a houseboat party for good measure!"
