Rise & Disrupt!

 
Featuring hands-on sessions, in-depth workshops, and the in-person magic you can’t duplicate on Zoom, IBPA Publishing University 2024 will empower you and your publishing program to Rise & Disrupt!
​
  • Celebrate and live IBPA’s motto of "helping each other achieve and succeed!"
  • Educational tracks will help your publishing business Rise & Disrupt! With a “Start Strong” track for Indie and Author Publishers who are in their first few years and books of their publishing journey; a “Level Up” track for Indie and Author Publishers who have ten or more books already published; and an “Everyone” track to collectively look at some of the biggest issues/opportunities with publishing, like AI, the business case for DEI, and how to pitch your book for TV and movies.
  • Participate in fun networking events built to connect you with other publishers and service providers who offer helpful solutions for publishers like you. And make sure to sign up for IBPA’s ever-popular one-on-one "Ask the Expert" mentoring sessions!
  • Attend a gala dinner and awards ceremony where we'll celebrate the Gold and Silver winners of the 36th annual IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards – come for the reception, enjoy the inspirational speeches, and stay for the after-party!
