2 | Here is the Publishers Lunch consolidated schedule of hundreds of events taking place at the 2018 Book Expo Convention. We have pulled together many event listings from across the BookExpo site along with other harder-to-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 buzz panels, etc. -- are in bold face. This is a live document, and we will continue to update as more events and signings are announced. Use the version information below to follow our updates. We hope you find this schedule useful, and have a great convention. | |||||||||||||||||||
