STORYDRIVE Exhibitions
Frankfurt Book Fair
Frankfurter Buchmesse (Frankfurt Book Fair) is the international publishing industry’s biggest trade fair – with over 7,500 exhibitors from 109 countries, around 285,000 visitors, over 4,000 events and some 10,000 accredited journalists and bloggers in attendance. It is the most important international marketplace for content – from novels and children’s books to academic databases and stories for films, games and virtual reality experiences. Publishing professionals from around the world meet here with partners from the technology sector and from related creative and cultural industries, sparking new partnerships and business models. A strong conference programme ensures that Frankfurter Buchmesse is a major source of inspiration for content experts from around the world. Since 1976, the book fair has featured an annual Guest of Honour country, which showcases its book market, literature and culture to attendees in a variety of ways. Frankfurter Buchmesse is a subsidiary of the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels (German Publishers & Booksellers Association). https://www.buchmesse.de/en
Go global – 365 days a year: the international activities of the Frankfurter Buchmesse
Beyond the Book Fair itself, Frankfurter Buchmesse is active year round with its products and activities for the international publishing industry. Its online platform IPR License makes it possible to trade rights and licenses worldwide all year long. As the foreign trade body of the German book market, Frankfurter Buchmesse has a cultural-political mandate to represent the German book industry around the world and to promote international cultural exchange and the free dissemination of the written word. To this end, it represents the German book industry through collective stands at some 20 international book fairs worldwide and organises Germany’s participation as guest of honour. Current cultural, political and social issues are discussed at the “Weltempfang”, the Book Fair’s Centre for Politics, Literature and Translation. Frankfurter Buchmesse is also active through funding programmes such as the Frankfurt Fellowship Programme, the Georges-Arthur Goldschmidt Programme, the Paris-Frankfurt Fellowship and the Frankfurt International Translators Programme, which address young publishing professionals. With its Invitation Programme and its four offices abroad (in New Delhi, Beijing, New York and Moscow), which organise workshops and events, Frankfurter Buchmesse also contributes to improving the professionalism and expanding the international network of the publishing industry.
