So you’re going to BEA! That’s awesome. If you're like me and its your first year attending, then you may be FREAKING OUT a bit. To help cope with the anxiety, I’ve compiled a list of BEA Tips links from other bloggers. Read them, cherish them, and by all means follow them.

Special thanks to all the great bloggers below for providing awesome tips to us newbies.
