Since 1927, the Independent College Bookstore Association (ICBA) has been focused exclusively on serving institutionally-affiliated college store Members.

Our mission is to support the independent operation of a college store, which is the most effective way to serve campus stakeholders. We provide value through education, networking, and vendor partner programs.

Industry-leading education is one of the cornerstones of ICBA. ICBA Webinars, Institutes, Online Institutes, and annual Conference promote industry best practices and challenge the status quo to inspire innovation and meaningful change.

Upcoming Events:

ICBA develops relationships and negotiates agreements with manufacturers, distributors, publishers, and service providers for products and services at prices and terms that would not otherwise be available. We feature vendors from a wide assortment of categories, including Apparel, Gifts, Technology, Course Materials, Operations, and Supplies.
