We are lining up the proposed panels here today and we want, nay NEED input. We want this to be a conference for EVERYONE, so we are happy to accept suggestions of panelists. What you want to ask of who, and who you want us to chase down and get there.
Also - IF you can not afford the cost to come just email us. We are happy to have extra help in place of money, BUT know you will receive more then your cost of admission in books - print and electronic.
The Cost is $45 for the conference and $7 for the shipping.
This is 5 days for around $55
All genres of book bloggers and publishers are welcome, but as the organizers we are primarily fiction and genre fiction to be specific. ***If you have an area of interest that is not being proposed JUST TELL US. I have no shame I will gladly contact anyone and ask them to participate.

I'd love to see a panel on author branding-marketing-advertising ect. If I don't have to work I hope to attend.
I plan on attending again this year, I am looking forward to it
Another good one based off of Ashlynns above is Blog Branding and Marketing as well as advertising...
I love the digital ARC panel and YA panel you are looking to set up
I just registered to attend :D I am excited about this one, there are a lot of good panels so far :)
I also wanted to mention that paypal only charged me $45 and not the $55 that it mentioned, I am guessing it left out the shipping and I wanted to make sure that was paid for also.
If you could get back to me whenever able so I can make sure the right amount is paid I would appreciate it :) Thanks!
