What is the People of Publishing Conference?

The AALA People of Publishing Conference brings together literary agents, editors, and publishing professionals for meaningful discussions, networking, and professional development. This event is sponsored and planned by the Association of American Literary Agents.

Unlike other industry events where the focus is on our books and authors, the AALA People of Publishing Conference is dedicated to us—enhancing our knowledge, skills, and capacity to adapt in an ever-changing landscape. Where else will you find sessions on holding auctions, managing submissions, and cultivating editor-agent relationships?

We can’t wait to unveil the line-up of speakers and topics. We also are building dynamic opportunities throughout the day for you to network with others and make connections that last.
