The March Madness Bookseller Series is a yearly event series featuring eight to twelve in-person bookseller gatherings hosted by member bookstores. Events are within two to three hours driving distance for a majority of SIBA member bookstores. The series allows booksellers to share skills and information, and network with each other in a fun and sociable setting.

Hosting stores spend the morning presenting on a topic they feel they do well. After lunch with an author, booksellers spend the afternoon in an idea sharing session when anyone can contribute. All March Madness events are free to SIBA member booksellers and open to nonmember booksellers for a small fee to cover the cost of lunch.

March Madness 2025 registration is now open.
