7x20x21 Is The Best Panel At BEA

UPDATE: Thanks to the generosity of The New Yorker, I am happy to add a new tagline to this panel--"7x20x21 is the only panel at BEA with an open bar."

If you'll be at BEA, I hope you can stop by the panel I'm curating with my co-worker Ryan Chapman. Here's the deal:

*7 speakers * Each with 7 minutes to talk about anything they like * Accompanied by 20 PowerPoint slides * That move forward automatically every 21 seconds *

Here's the (star-studded) lineup:

• Debbie Stier, Harper Studio
• Pablo Defendini, Tor.com
• Jeff Yamaguchi, Knopf Doubleday and 52 Projects
• Matt Supko, ABA/Indiebound and creator of the Indiebound iPhone app
• Chris Jackson, Spiegel and Grau
• Richard Nash, formerly of Soft Skull Press
• Lauren Cerand, independent public relations representative

Here's the details:
4:30-6PM
