Welcome and Plenary Conversation TBA.

IBPA Think Tank for Established Publishers
A day of expert-level peer-to-peer discussions with tailored tracks for:
Executives
Editorial and Production Key Staff
Marketing and Sales Key Staff

Doors open at 8:30am CT for a 9:00am start.

Please note that separate registration is required for the IBPA Think Tank for Established Publishers 2025 -- you can register here. (Once you've registered, you can tell us your topic preferences here.)

Noon - 1:20pm
Grab your lunch, and then enjoy a hands-on visit of Minnesota Center for Book Art (located in the same Open Book building as the rest of the day's program!)

Or, do book art first and then eat.

Two optional tours/hands-on experiences with the Minnesota Center for Book Art:
Noon - 12:40pm
12:40pm - 1:20pm

Breaking down silos and reporting back highlights of the day's conversations.

Free reception for all IBPA Think Tank for Established Publishers, IBPA Publishing University conference attendees, as well as our MBPR and MIPA friends.

Note this is at the conference hotel in St. Paul, not at the Open Book facility where the IBPA Think Tank for Established Publishers is being held.

Come with a recommendation for an indie published book (published by someone else)!
