These photos of  the floor show a very small portion of the event.  The Washington Convention Center is a four level complex that takes up two full city blocks.  Our booth was located on the lower level, Booth 4547, with the small press.   There were many more exhibitors located on the second level as well.  

The event also included several conferences throughout the week, guest speakers, guest authors, book signings, and the opportunity to put books into hands for review. 

We learned that this was the largest BookExpo event in the nation.  Next year it will be in New York.

We had several people stop by to see what Emma & Friends was all about.  We met with several people throughout the weekend to discuss various options.  This was an excellent source for networking.  We are excited to see where Emma & Friends will go next!

Congratuations to our 8 daily give-a-way winners!
