They are really messing up with the registration this year! I'm going to have to check on this but as far as I know we are still free. Here's a link to another post about registration: http://www.onceuponatwilight.com/2010/12/book-expo-america.html and we are still free - it only cost money if you sign up for the Book Blogger Convention at the same time.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-73459238308969165932010-12-17T07:19:40.827-05:002010-12-17T07:19:40.827-05:00Excellent post - loads of info in there.

A lot of people room with other bloggers to keep the cost down. It was my first time in NYC so I don't know the area to well. <br />The BEA website has hotel discounts & information: http://bookexpoamerica.com/Travel/Affordable-Hotel-and-Travel/<br /><br />@Anonymous You have to be one of the approved groups (librarian, author, press etc) or a guest of someone in one of those groups to attend.<br /><br />@Petty - I met people from all over the world last year! Even Germany. I agree - everyone should have one of these events!! It was a great experience beyond getting all the free books - although that was the highlight :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-62707178373224616482010-12-16T12:04:05.693-05:002010-12-16T12:04:05.693-05:00Great post.

I'm still a little confused on registration, if we are in fact non-editorial media this year, there is a fee for attending. I've heard bloggers registering as both editorial and non editorial media because they both have blogging options, so I'm not sure. They put me through to a publicity specialist who is supposed to tell me what badge to register for since they are requiring credentials for the editorial media/free option. So confusing!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-3504624190429403112010-12-16T08:15:16.492-05:002010-12-16T08:15:16.492-05:00Another comment disappeared just like that, I'...Another comment disappeared just like that, I'll try again.<br /> I'd love to be able to go to something like this. Who knows one day us British bloggers may get our act together. Then again, there probably aren't enough of us. If I could appeal to any UK bloggers reading this to get in touch and let me know what you think that would be great.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-66188487625636890552010-12-16T00:43:40.277-05:002010-12-16T00:43:40.277-05:00Thanks so much for all the info, Karen!

That would be so expensive to ship home to Canada...
