Publishers Launch BEA

Registration is open for Publishers Launch BEA 2012!

Save $75 off the regular ticket price of $495 until May 3, or purchase one of the limited Super Saver passes and get full access to both Publishers Launch and the IDPF Digital Book event and save $150 off the combined show prices (or roughly $740 or less for the two shows together, depending upon your IDPF membership status). It’s an amazing digital education deal that will not last. If you want to avoid the BEA registration system, use our own simple one-page sign-up form instead.
