Our program begins!

Andrea Fleck-Nisbet, IBPA's CEO, will welcome everyone and introduce our opening keynote speaker, 
Donald Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Building a StoryBrand.

Rise Above the Noise. Connect With More Customers.
In 2017, Dave Ramsey called Building a StoryBrand the most effective framework for cutting through digital noise. Over 1 million copies of the book have sold, and global brands like TREK, TOMS, and The Economist use it to drive growth. Whether you own a publishing business, are marketing a book or a cause, or building your publisher or author brand... Donald Miller’s proven seven-part story formula can help your message cut through the chaos because brand storytelling captures attention, transforms customers’ lives, and fuels business growth.
