The 70th edition of the Frankfurt International Book Fair (FIBF), Frankfurter Buchmesse in German, will be taking place in Germany’s magnificent city of Frankfurt from October 10 to 14, 2018 with the registration and display copy deadline being September 12.
Hailed as the world's largest trade fair for books, based both on the number of publishing companies represented, and the number of visitors, it is also regarded as the most important book fair in the world for international deals and trading.
The five-day annual event in mid-October is being held at the Frankfurt Trade Fairgrounds. The first three days are restricted exclusively to professional visitors; the general public attend the fair on the weekend.
Several thousand exhibitors representing book publishing, multimedia and technology companies, as well as content providers from all over the world gather in order to negotiate international publishing rights and license fees.
The FIBF is organised by Frankfurter Buchmesse GmbH, a subsidiary of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. More than 7,300 exhibitors from over 100 countries and more than 286,000 visitors were reported to have attended it in 2017.
This year the FIBF will be celebrating its 70th anniversary. For those connected with books from all over the world and the international publishing and media industry, it will once again be all about printed and digital content and the relevant topics for the coming year.
The book fair is the most important international marketplace for content, as well as a key trendsetter for society and a major cultural festival.
Georgia will be the FIBF guest of honour this year. It will be an opportunity to discover Georgia’s diverse culture and literature.
this book fair was attended by me and my friends as well, we went to Frankfurt for some time and then we came to know that the international Literature Festival Berlin is also a must watch, so we decided that we will also be there in this festival this time.
