Bigger than ever, here is the Publishers Lunch consolidated schedule of hundreds of events taking place at the 2014 Book Expo America Convention.

We have pulled together events listings from across the BEA site along with other harder-to-find-listings of important events (such as the ABA's annual meeting and town hall gathering). A selection of well-known programs -- the author breakfasts, the BEA keynote, etc. -- are in bold face and/or are tagged "Special Events." Most events have a "track" tag to provide some sense of the content, and to make it easier to search the full schedule to organize your agenda. Only a small number of high-profile "in booth" author signings will be listed here, and most of those scheduled appearances have not been published on BEA's roster yet. This is a live document, and we will continue to update as more events and signings are announced. Use the version information below to follow our updates.

We have also listed the many authors appearing at BEA who are included in our forthcoming free Buzz Books ebook samplers, which will be published later in May. We hope you find this schedule useful, and have a great convention.
