[We also recommend the Holiday Inn RiverCentre, which is very close by as well, but we will not have a room block reserved at that hotel in 2008.]

The Midwest Booksellers Association Trade Show is a MEMBERS-ONLY business meeting and exhibit which is not open to the general public. All exhibitors, booksellers, and other book industry attendees will need to be paid MBA members for the 2008-2009 membership year in order to participate.
MBA voting membership is open to retail bookstores both owned and operated in our member states, as well as to publishers, sales representatives, wholesalers and vendors who do business with our booksellers. Non-voting associate membership is open to others professionally allied to the book industry – prospective booksellers, national chain bookstores, libraries, authors, teachers, etc.
Members of the media who cover the book industry may attend, but they must contact the MBA office and provide press credentials in advance in order to receive press passes.
