According to IBPA President Florrie Binford Kichler, this year marked "a radical departure" in format from years past. "Rather than organizing the event by specific tracks such as marketing, promotion, finance, etc., the more than 20 break-out sessions instead featured topics custom-tailored for publishers in three stages of their careers," said Kichler.
