To make the most of your convention experience, we encourage you to acquire books by our speakers in advance through Bookshop.org or White Whale Bookstore in Pittsburgh. Reading ahead allows you to engage more meaningfully in discussions, ask insightful questions, and fully appreciate the perspectives our speakers bring. Plus, having a copy on hand also provides the perfect opportunity for book signings and deeper conversations. Â
