The positive development of the international audio(book) market is also reflected at this year's Frankfurter Buchmesse: the Frankfurt Audio Area in Hall 3.1 has almost doubled in size compared to last year. On 640 square metres (2023: 330 square metres), everything revolves around audiobooks, podcasts, audio services and software. Players and service providers from the audio sector will present themselves here with their own stands, workstations and at the Collective Exhibition of German audiobook publishers/IG Hörbuch (Hall 3.1, K24/25). On the trade visitor days (16-18 October 2024), publishing consultant Carlo Carrenho will network interested parties with companies in the area as Frankfurter Buchmesse's Audio Ambassador.
