BEA Web Developments......
You don't know her, but Kim is an amazing person. She's the Marketing Director on BEA and she's got the BEA web site looking top notch. Check it out and pay attention to a few nice new features:
- An interactive show planner that has a clear, printable floor plan and the ability to add panels, events, booth appointments, etc to a daily planner. Try it out by clicking here.
- A daily news features that aggregates headlines and posts with industry info. Read the headlines here.
- We also have a bunch of our educational panels listed. There will be a lot more added, but right now there are little gems in there that I haven';t even leaked via this blog yet - see if you can find them........Take a sneak peek at our panels here.
Just thought you'd be interested in a few improvements and additions on the web site.

Okay... the event planner is similar to the NYCC planner...
Some improvements: when I select an exhibitor, an "Exhibitor added" window pops up, obscuring the list of exhibitors I'm clicking. The check-mark should serve as an indicator.
Also, a "select all" button would be helpful when searching books by a particular sub-category, like "graphic novels".
The exhibitor information which appears does not include any "bibliographic" information about the company. Including the categories which each exhibitor is listed would help users to find synchronicities or suggest possibilities. (And you could include a link so that the user could click directly to the sub-category link!) It also helps us users who selected the exhibitor, but forgot why we did.
HEY! The map highlights my choices! Nice improvement from NYCC! (Did you remove the big circles which get placed on the printout map and obscur the map beneath?)
Pavilions are not yet active.
Nor are events.
On the Level One map, is it possible to list panel rooms, shipping, ticketed signings, and the auditorium? Or include a secondary overview map of Javits which does?
(Diamond Books didn't show up on the graphic novels category list!)
Also, since you have my email info, are you sending out Planner updates to registered users? Such as when the events listing goes live? And how does the Planner handle booth signings? Can I download the Event calendar to Outlook or iCalendar and then to my Treo so I don't have to program my calendar by hand? Or can I link the Planner to my cellphone so that the Planner calendar automatically sends me text messages at a set time before each event?
(hmmm... wondering if the Planner will work with my Treo web browser...)
Looks great! Give Kim a raise!
Hi,
Do you know when you will post the schedule for author signings?
