It's only 15 days and counting until the Self-Publishers Online Conference and there's been a lot going on!
SPOC Behind the Scenes
If this is your first time attending SPOC, I encourage you to check out our new "Behind the Login" page, which shows you how SPOC differs from a typical "telesummit."

Whether you have opted for a Basic (no charge) pass or upgraded to a paid one, your login gives you access to the private area of the SPOC Web site.
There you'll find pages for each seminar, so you can listen online (and avoid long-distance charges). You'll also have access to our discussion feature, so you can ask questions before, during, or after the presentation, and "virtually mingle" with other attendees. You also can download presentation handouts, if the speaker has provided them.
The private area of the SPOC site also has an "Exhibit Hall," where you can see pages with information and special offers from our sponsors and exhibitors. You can use our "virtual badge swipe" feature to request more information from vendors.
Early Bird Discount Ends in 3 Days
If you can't attend all the sessions, you may want to consider purchasing a Standard or Premium Pass to access audio downloads or have CDs mailed to you.
Through the end of April, you'll notice we're offering these Passes at discounted prices. (The Early Bird Discounts end 4/30.) If you want to upgrade your pass, just let us know and we'll give you the scoop:

Don't forget that if you registered for SPOC last year, you are NOT registered for this year, so you'll want to sign up. Please be sure to register if you want to attend!
Everyone who registers also receives a discount on book promotion packages from our sponsor Send2Press. Some of our speakers are talking about offering discounts too. More on that as news develops.
The Logical Expressions exhibit hall pages will definitely include discounts, as will the one from our sponsor, the Small Publishers Artists and Writers Network (SPAWN)
