BookPeople (formerly Australian Booksellers Association) is delighted to announce the 99th annual conference and trade exhibition will place on 18 and 19 June 2023 in fabulous Adelaide!

The conference will take place at the Adelaide Convention Centre, a striking landmark on Adelaide’s Riverbank. The Adelaide Convention Centre (ACC) is one of the world’s most modern, flexible and technologically advanced venues. Located just 15 minutes drive from Adelaide International Airport and a stone’s throw from South Australia’s famed tourist regions. 

The 2023 conference will begin Saturday afternoon with a unique Adelaide experience ensuring plenty of time to catch up with colleagues. We officially kick off 9 am Sunday with a morning packed with guest speakers followed by the always bustling trade exhibition. Sunday night is time to frock up for the gala and awards dinner. Monday’s busy schedule will cover many aspects of the business of selling books plus showcase as many authors as we can squeeze in. 

Conference provides a welcome break from your regular work space. It is an opportunity to have some fun with colleagues and be inspired so you can return to your business brimming with new ideas and a spring in your step. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
