Book Expo America: Day 2

Well, we survived BEA day 2… And it was the first day that the exhibition floor was open, so we got to do a bit of visiting of old friends and colleagues.

But before that, we had more sessions to attend:

Book Expo America: Day 1

So here we are in NYC! It’s been a crazy week of travel to get here… we were on the first ever Qantas Sydney to Dallas flight, which commenced with Texan-style fanfare in Sydney and end with a huge media circus as we got off the plane in Dallas. To our surprise, Qantas Ambassador John Travolta was there to greet every passenger as we got off the plane. There’s really nothing like walking past a ton of cameras and reporters after being on a 15+ hour flight…

Bisummeral

Bisummeral defines someone who travels from one hemisphere to the other, in order to attain year-round summer weather according to Urban Dictionary.

Why are we telling you this? Because Tango Media is going bisummeral for 2011. We’ve enjoyed the Australian summer immensely, and now that it’s cooling down here in Sydney we’re heading to New York for a few months. So yes, we are getting two summers and zero winters this year… and we are pretty thrilled about that!

Why are we doing this? It may sound a bit obnoxious, but the answer is because we can and we really REALLY want to! While we are in New York, we’ll be attending Book Expo America to learn all the latest industry trends in print and digital book publishing. Beyond that, we’ll continue to work for all of our clients in Australia, the UK and the USA. A note to the Australians: we’ll be setting up specific ‘online’ hours where our work day will overlap with yours and we can easily be reached. So not to worry, we look after our clients regardless of where we are. We’re nice that way.

Want to know more? Please get in touch and we’ll tell you all about it…
