Author Signing




As we have in years past, Dogwise is hosting the Author Signing event at the Conference on Saturday from noon - 1:30 PM in the Exhibit Hall.  It's always a thrill for us to meet the authors and we think you'll get a kick out of it too!  While we can't tell you exactly who will be there to sign, most of the author/speakers make a big effort to be at the signing table.  You can expect to see people like Ian Dunbar, Sophia Yin and Suzanne Clothier to name a few.

If you've never been to an Author Signing here's how it works:  you can bring a book you already own and get it signed; you can purchase a book at the Conference and get it signed for yourself or a friend; or you can get a "bookplate" which Dogwise provides at no charge, get it signed and put it in a book you have at home.
