For the 30th annual Expert Class (formerly Master Class) we are excited to highlight authors, illustrators, publishers, and organizations that are influencing the landscape of inclusive representation in children’s literature. In conversational-style groupings organized around focal themes, speakers will share the focus, vision, and collaborative process that constitute their books and work. This year’s class will include 3-4 formal rotations that will allow audience members to interact with multiple tables.

In addition to authors, illustrators, and publishers, we will also have speakers representing Translated Books, Imported English Language Books, and USBBY Outstanding International Books for 2023.
