Are you looking for a way to connect with the non-fiction author market
and show them what your company has to offer in self-publishing?
Be an exhibitor or sponsor of the Self-Publishers Online Conference
The Self-Publishers Online Conference (SPOC) connects you with non-fiction business authors
so you can inform and educate them about your products and services while growing your customer base.
SPOC does this through our online event where we showcase our sponsors and their
products and services to a target market looking for education and information about
how to become a self-published author. The event consists of teleseminars with self-publishing
experts, a virtual exhibit hall featuring sponsor information, and easy-to-use tools so attendees
can communicate with sponsors.
With SPOC, you get a huge amount of valuable information in a super-convenient format at a great price!
