I will be at BEA Thursday through Sunday to cover it for you guys. I’ve never been to one before so I am quite curious about the whole affair. It seems like a lot of time to devote to just one topic, but I’ll see.
As part of the event the Follow the Reader Blog has organized a “Blogger Signing” event. I will be at their booth on Sunday, at noon, if anyone wants to drop by and see what I look like. The whole schedule for the event is too long to publish, but go over and take a look. You may have the chance to meet some of your favorite bloggers. Here’s the description of the event:
Firebrand is thrilled to announce that 41 bloggers signed up to be at our booth (#4077) during Book Expo America. It’s clear from how quickly this idea went from concept to reality, that book bloggers need and want to create community-to-community relationships with publishers, retailers, and readers. This is an incredibly exciting time in publishing!
We invite every publisher at BEA to review this schedule and mark their calendars, so they have a chance to meet the bloggers who are helping to sell their books.
You should also consider attending IPBA-U (was PMA-U).
That’s the big publishing seminar series right before BEA. 70 to 100 seminars in 8 tracks over 3 days immediately before BEA, and always in the same city. It’s the most intense book boot camp you can get, and e-issues are usually on everyone’s mind.
(Disclosure: I’m usually one of their all-volunteer presenters, so I have a bias.)

I can’t take all that time, but maybe I’ll plan for it next year. Do you have a link? The acronym doesn’t give me any relevant response in Google.
I do have a link: http://thepublishinguniversity.com/. I’m sorry to hear that you don’t have the time to attend. It’s always a good experience.
