China will send a high ranking delegation of up to 500 top publishing professionals, internationally acclaimed authors, as well as senior government officials to attend BookExpo America (BEA) in New York, in a unique effort to widen and deepen the cultural and business ties between the world’s two largest publishing markets. “This is the most significant foreign delegation that we have ever hosted at America’s largest publishing convention”, notes Steven Rosato, BEA’s Show Director. "We are honored to welcome China and we look forward to making this a rewarding experience for everyone involved."

The China presence will have both a professional and a cultural component, with events scheduled at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, the convention location for BEA, as well as throughout New York City. BEA will take place May 27 – May 29, 2015.

“American publishers welcome our Chinese counterparts to BookExpo America. We look forward to professional conversations that can deepen mutual understanding of publishing in our respective countries and expand opportunities for new business ventures,” said Tom Allen, President and CEO of the Association of American Publishers.

Many of China's leading publishing houses are eager to develop a strong presence internationally. Several of the largest Chinese publishing corporations, including Phoenix Publishing and Media Company, China Publishing Group (CPG), and China Education and Media Group (CEMG) are planning to participate in BEA's professional program. Also, major service organizations such as China National Publishing Import and Export Company (CNPIEC) will participate thus facilitating a professional exchange between international players and Chinese publishers, distributors, libraries and educational institutions.

In addition, a delegation of pre-eminent Chinese authors will be present including such prestigious names as Mai Jia (in English for Farrar Straus & Giroux), and Chi Zijian (preparing a translation for Harvill Secker).

During all three days of BookExpo America professional debates will be held to explore the dynamic growth in Chinese publishing. Forums will highlight the expanding international ambitions of the Chinese publishing and media industry; a comparison of digital developments in American and Chinese publishing; recent trends and success stories in literary translation; as well as educational publishing and reading promotion.

The Chinese participation at BEA will be kicked off with an Opening Ceremony: Welcome China! at the Jacob K. Javits Center on Wednesday, May 27, 2015. The official opening will be immediately followed with an agenda of professional forums and workshops dealing notably with topics such as digital publishing, literary translation, educational publishing, and reading promotion.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
