Frankfurt Book Fair 2021 awaits
Frankfurt Book Fair 2021 will be held on 20 – 24 October. After the leading international book trade show had to convert to a fully digital event in response to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2021 dates will mark a return to its traditional format at Messe Frankfurt.
Frankfurt Book Fair participants receive unique B2B and B2C opportunities. The first three days of the event are exclusive to the publishing industry. With the participation of over 7,000 exhibitors, the fair becomes the biggest international platform for the trade of rights and licenses. Its last two days open to the public, raising the visitor number for each edition to over 300,000 people and offering thousands of initiatives that turn Frankfurter Buchmesse into a colossal social and cultural event.
Frankfurt Book Fair 2021 will once again bring together publishing professionals from around the globe and allow them to meet with potential clients and partners from related cultural industries and the technological sector, sparking new business models and innovative creative approaches. An extensive conference schedule will offer key insights and inspiration, while the Guest of Honour country Canada, whose participation was postponed from 2020, will present its book market and literature scene with a diverse programme.
