Bigger than ever, here is the Publishers Lunch consolidated schedule of hundreds of events taking place at the 2013 Book Expo America Convention.

We have pulled together events listings scattered across the BEA site along other harder-find-listings of important events (such as the ABA's annual meeting and town hall gathering). A selection of well-known programs -- the author breakfasts, the BEA keynote, etc. -- are in bold face and/or are tagged "Special Events." Most events have a "track" tag to provide some sense of the content.

We hope you find this schedule useful, and have a great convention.
