When Worlds Collide – BEA + BlogWorld Expo = Hectic IT Girl
Last week was the first co-locating of BlogWorld Expo and Book Expo America – two conferences that usually take up a lot of my time separately. Putting them together was completely and totally overwhelming, and only sometimes in a bad way. I’m proud to say that Wiley was the only publisher to have a booth …
Dummies Man LIVE at NYSE
There’s a big event in the Wiley world happening today. As if it weren’t already BookExpo, BlogWorld Expo East AND the 20th Anniversary of the For Dummies brand, today Dummies Man himself will be on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange ringing the closing bell. I am told by those who know that the closing bell is …
Making the most of BEA @ BWENY
This post is also running on the official BlogWorld Expo blog.

Blood Lust for Books
When I was at BEA earlier this summer, I picked up a few galleys and books to read. OK, if you were with me or saw me at the show, you are falling over laughing right now. I’m well known as someone who cannot pass by a free book. I have been known to resort …
BEA – on the cutting edge
Thanks to Lance, the writer behind Mediumatlarge.net, I got a heads-up to check out the schedule of sessions and presentations going on at BookExpo America. While it’s not exactly going to rival the slate of a conference that’s all about Web 2.0, it does offer many panel sessions that cover social networking and the latest …
LA Stories
If you work in publishing, odds are you and your company are working on your presence at BookExpo right now. The main conference in the publishing industry, BookExpo America, aka BEA, takes place the last weekend of May in Los Angeles.
