Around 230,000 people from over 90 countries converge at Frankfurter Buchmesse every year. It’s where they engage with the profound issues of our time in myriad ways – as authors, translators, agents, publishers, journalists and many other roles. Frankfurter Buchmesse is one of the world’s most important trading hubs for content. It is also becoming a key platform for discussing the pressing challenges of world affairs and current events.
Frankfurt Calling promotes this global dialogue, putting it centre stage, literally. Plus, it offers space and a framework for ongoing active development. It’s a place for debates, lectures and discussions with intellectual depth. It’s a place for diverse international perspectives in the fields of politics, culture and the arts.
The majority of the programme will take place on the new Centre Stage in Hall 4.1.
