Centres, forums and collective stands focus on the industry's key topics. From discussions with the prophets of digitisation to signing sessions with comic artists and readings by children's authors - every aspect features here with exciting presentations.

The multitude of events offers new insights to every visitor of the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Some highlights are featured here.

Rights & Licences and Book Markets

The Frankfurt Book Fair is the most important business platform for the international trade of rights and licenses. Explore the highlights of our new subject area "Rights & Licences".

Over 100 countries take part in the Frankfurt Book Fair every year. To help introduce you to this wide diversity, we schedule Business Breakfasts, Tea Times and guided tours of national collective stands (“Have a Look at ...”). Find out more about market trends, international book fairs and translation funding programmes below the subject area "Book Markets".

From book to game and vice versa

Publishing companies provide the game industry with a gigantic content pool for new gaming ideas. And games provide publishing companies with new presentation options for contents and stories.
Many educational publishers have long since included computer games in their production ranges. Because the visuals and heroes in numerous computer games originally come from comics and manga.

With the intention of promoting crossmedia partnerships, the Frankfurt Book Fair is focusing on the game industry as part of its new Creative Industries presentation.

Gourmet Gallery

Book people know how to enjoy – and this year, we dedicate a new display area to their epicurean pleasures! In the Gourmet Gallery, a world of eating, drinking and enjoying is on offer over an area of 400 square metres.

Digitisation

Digitisation in publishing is progressing at an ever increasing pace.
So it's no surprise that thirty per cent of products exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair have long since been digital.

Today, online marketing and electronic products belong to the daily routine of most exhibitors.

In any case it is worth visiting the special exhibition areas dealing with digitisation.
