Piper Kerman Keynote and Book Signing at COA 2016 Conference

Piper Kerman, Keynote Speaker

Bestselling Author, Memoirist, Prison Reform Activist

Piper Kerman’s best-selling memoir Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison chronicles what the author calls her “crucible experience” — the 13 months she spent in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut.  The book inspired the award-winning Netflix original series of the same name.

COA is hosting its 2016 conference and is excited to share the opportunity to see Piper Kerman with a wider NYC audience. Tickets are for balcony seating during Piper Kerman’s keynote luncheon in the Grand Ballroom. Seating will be available in the first and second balconies at a first-come, first-serve basis. Please note tickets do not include lunch, which will be served on the ground floor to conference participants.

Tickets also allow for participation in Piper’s book signing after the keynote and after conference attendees have the opportunity to have their books signed. Books will be available for sale onsite or can be purchased in advance with ticket. Book sales provided by Greenlight bookstore.

Please arrive by 1:15 PM using the Lexington Avenue entrance at the Waldorf-Astoria and locating the Silver Cooridor.  COA staff will direct you to the balcony seating.
