BEA is a trade-only event and welcomes qualified members of the book industry trade. BEA's new badge categories (see table below) help you to be identified properly. Please note the verification information required for each category because you will be prompted to enter this information when you register.
Badges will be audited to ensure you chose the correct badge category. BEA reserves the right to revoke badge credentials if you have not chosen the proper badge category and have not provided the proper verification. You will be notified prior to BEA if there are any questions regarding your badge verification. Please note, if you select an accurate badge category that best reflects your position in the book industry and provide the verification, there should be no additional follow up needed.
