Thank you for an unforgettable Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026!

Five days of encounters are behind us: big and small, lively and quiet, unexpected and long planned. With a new hall concept, new stands and a varied programme, Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026 once again showed what makes it special: exchange, openness, diversity and a shared passion for stories.

We would like to thank all our exhibitors for their creative stands and the many fascinating events. Thank you, too, to everyone who visited for your interest, curiosity and enthusiasm — and to our supporters and partners who helped make the Fair what it was.

We look forward to seeing you again at Frankfurt in 2027, from 6 to 10 October.
