1. As a forum for publishers to meet independent booksellers;
2. As a rights fair; and
3. As the gathering place for the annual technology conference that runs during BEA—the International Digital Publishing Forum.
With two members of our senior management team, two-award-winning authors, two technology partners, and one literary agent in attendance at BEA11, Little Pickle Press will be taking full advantage of these opportunities. Additionally, I’d add to Joe’s list a few other functions that BEA serves:
1. An opportunity to gain exposure in the marketplace;
2. The perfect place to meet with prospective authors, illustrators, employees, consultants, and technology partners; and
3. A great time to be featured guests at local customers.
Gaining exposure in the marketplace. Little Pickle Press will be exhibiting its award-winning titles in two places at BEA11:
• Mom's Choice Awards® (Booth #2264-2265)

On Monday evening, our team will be attending the Benjamin Franklin Awards ceremony hosted by the Independent Book Award Association because What Does It Mean To Be Green? is a finalist for the eBooks category and Your Fantastic Elastic Brain is a finalist in the Interior Design, Children’s/Young Adult category. On Tuesday evening, our team will be attending the 2011 Next Generation Indie Awards reception because Your Fantastic Elastic Brain was named a finalist in the Children's/Juvenile Non-Fiction category.
Meeting with folks that matter. Our team will be meeting with aspiring authors and illustrators, a prospective technology partner, two prospective team members, and the consultant we just engaged to help us to refine our financial model. We have also planned a celebratory luncheon with JoAnn Deak, Ph.D. and our fabulous book designer, Rose Audette of Squiggly Line Design.
Helping our booksellers to attract customers. We will be visiting our specialty retail and indy bookseller accounts while we are in Manhattan. We have offered our presence for signings at their stores during the week of BEA11. Stay tuned for details regarding where our award-winning authors will be and when.
