#SIBA10 is Around the Corner – Mark Your Calendar

This year, the SIBA Trade Show is being held at sister indie properties that are side by side by the seaside.  And it is predicted that the air will be filled with book-talk among the southern book industry elite.  The most successful Southern Social Networking Summit Redux will be offered on Thursday.  Linda Barrett-Knopp of Malaprops’ credits the summit for Malaprops’ finding its sweet spot. We are also expecting a host of bloggers so that booksellers can Get in Bed with a Blogger. Education, Publishers, and Authors, oh my!  The ever popular Moveable Feast is back along with many SIBA favorites.  New this year is the Tweet Up a Rep and the Technology Pavilion where anyone visiting the exhibits can stop and learn a new piece of technology that will help you sell more books.  Twitter, Facebook and Ustream, oh my!
