THE BEA BEAT

摘要

Margaret Heilbrun BookExpo America (BEA), the largest event of the North American publishing industry year, is again at New York's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, May 23-26, but look for a few tweaks. It's still midweek, but the exhibit hall will return to a three-day schedule and will be all on one level. For those wanting to primp for prime networking in the evenings, the hall's daily hours will end earlier than before (5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24, and Wednesday, May 25; 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 26). All the details should be truly at hand, as BEA has expanded its mobile access to include interactive maps, program updates, and more for web-enabled phones or ereaders.
