I’m hoping to be able to go to BEA this year, but I haven’t set anything up yet because I’m nervous about the details.
- So, is anyone else going this year? Have you gone in past years? (Know someone else who has? Send them over here, please!)
- How easy is it to get around?
- What hotel should I get a room at? (Is there anything that won’t cost me an arm and a leg? Anyone looking for a roommate?)
- Are there specific events that I should definitely get to? Anything I should skip?
- Any other advice you can give me? I know there’s other stuff I should be asking, but I don’t know where to start!
I appreciate any advice anyone can give me – I need that kick in the pants so that I’ll make that final leap and just go! I really, really want to!! (But I’m nervous! 🙂
I’m so new to this I had to look up what this event even was…it would soooo cool to go to!
That was me last year. People talked about BEA and I had no idea what they were talking about!
BEA sounds so amazing!! I’ve never been, but would love to go sometime. I sprung this year for plane/hotel/ticket to go to the Barbara Vey Readers’ Luncheon in Milwaukee in April. It’ll be my first readers’ event, and I am so excited! You should definitely go to BEA if you have the chance!!
Oooh! I hadn’t heard of that – and Milwaukee is really close to me. I think I might sign up – if so I’ll let you know!
Nicole, I will tell you what I always tell my kids: Try everything at least once. If you are able to go to BEA, don’t sweat the small stuff. GO GIRL!!!!
