Cover the biggest Event of the Publishing and Media Industry.

Accreditation can be obtained through our MyBookFair(opens in a new window) customer portal or at one of our press counters at the fair. We will check and validate your credentials starting in August. Please understand that this process might take a few days. 

You can find our revised accreditation guidelines here.

Accreditation is only possible online via our customer portal MyBookFair until the end of Frankfurter Buchmesse.

Due to the time-consuming verification process, content creators cannot be accredited on site at the press desks.

Please note that online accreditation may take a few days if the number of visitors is high. You will receive an e-mail notification about the status of your accreditation. Please also check your spam folder.

You can find our revised accreditation guidelines here.

Accredited journalists/content creators are NOT allowed to bring along additional people to the fair. Any further people need their own ticket to attend the fair.  For children who are not school newspaper editors, a reduced ticket can be purchased on site (only).   

Details to our accreditation guidelines can be found here. 

On Tuesday (opening day), you need a ticket for the Opening Ceremony to enter the fair. You can find information about of those events from September on here.

Waiting times, however, are still possible due to security checks and procedures. Please ensure that your plans for the day take this potential delay into consideration. 

No. For example: The Opening Ceremony of Frankfurter Buchmesse and certain other events require special accreditation. You can find an overview of those press events here.

From this year onwards, a team lead can register up to three team members (camera, sound, lighting, etc.). However, this only applies to pre-accreditation. For on-site accreditation, each team member must be accredited individually and submit proof of journalistic activity, e.g. a letter of assignment from the editorial team.

Yes.

You do not need a special permission from us to take photographs or film at the Frankfurter Buchmesse.

With regard to the subsequent use of the photos or video recordings, the photographer/film team is solely responsible for compliance with the law. This means, if persons, stands or brands of third parties are visible, it is the team’s responsibility to obtain the consent to use the material from the respective third parties.
