  • ICBA 2026: Currents of Opportunity

    February 4, 2026
    Jacksonville, FL

    Since 1927, the Independent College Bookstore Association (ICBA) has supported the independent operation of college stores.

    This year marks the 100th annual ICBA conference. Join Kevin Kelley as he shares his proven playbook for winning on meaning rather than margins, and on convening rather than commoditizing. Attendees will learn how to design sensory-rich, emotionally engaging, community-building retail experiences that elevate relevance, loyalty, and long-term value.
