Frankfurt Audio

The global marketplace for audio content

Audiobooks, podcasts, audio software and services in the spotlight: at the fairground, in digital formats before the fair and 365 days in our media library.

The positive development of the international audio market is also reflected at Frankfurter Buchmesse: since the Frankfurt Audio Area was established in 2019, it has grown steadily. In Hall 3.1, the world of the spoken word awaits you on 730 square metres: discover exciting audiobooks and podcasts, innovative audio services and software. With their own stands, workstations and at the IG Hörbuch collective stand, players from the audio sector will be presenting themselves here. At the weekend, the workstation area will be transformed into a pop-up stage featuring well-known audiobook narrators, podcasters and authors!

The #fbm25 audio programme will be announced in mid-August.
