Friday Afternoon Keynote Panel - Reaching Readers Beyond Bookstores, Libraries, and Retail Markets
Friday May 15, 2026 4:15pm - 5:30pm PDT
Hyatt Regency - Regency Ballroom (2nd floor)
As it becomes increasingly difficult to profitably sell books through traditional sales channels (including Amazon), more publishers and authors are exploring direct-to-consumer platforms, emerging technologies, and old-fashioned community building opportunities to reach readers. This panel will explore a variety of options for marketing and selling to readers outside of traditional trade channels.

The audio file is attached. Transcript will be added in early June.
