Book Swap at ACE the Experience

We’re introducing a book swap at Ace the Experience: Professional Development Day 2026.

It’s simple. Bring a gently used book that’s helped you grow in the talent development field. Big ideas welcome.Practical guides count.If it shaped how you do your work, it belongs on the table!

Drop off your books when you arrive. The swap will open later in the day, giving you time to explore what others shared and take home something new. First come, first served.

Want to add a personal touch? Leave a short note inside your book about why it mattered to you.

No registration required and there are no limits on how many books you bring. Any books left at the end of the day will be donated.

Come curious. Leave inspired at Professional Development Day 2026!
