8:30 - Registration
9:00 - ABA Forum 10:10 I. Education Session I: ADULTING 101 The cost of living in California is quite high and bookseller salaries are tough to make a living on. This session will teach the basic foundations of three key areas of financial literacy and stability: budgeting, saving, and investing. 2. Education Session II: TBA 11:10 1. EDELWEISS ANALYTICS: Okay, Now What? Above the Treeline has a wealth of data and reports designed to make your buying and returning decisions easier, but sometimes it's difficult to know just where to start. Joe Foster from ATL will be presenting a few reports and their actionable takeaways to get you started using ATL on a regular basis as part of your store's operations. This should be considered a 201 course: the session assumes you know what kind of data ATL collects as well as the basic terminology (turns, inventory value, etc.), but that you have not yet been able to incorporate regular usage of ATL reports into your operations. 2. CALIFORNIA VOICES: Five authors in conversation. |
