Thank you for an unforgettable #fbm25!

Five incredible days have drawn to a close — filled with unique and fascinating encounters, both grand and personal, spontaneous and long-planned. Five days that once again demonstrated what Frankfurter Buchmesse is all about: exchange, connection, diversity, and above all, passion for remarkable stories of every kind. For this, we extend our sincere thanks to all exhibitors, visitors, supporters, and partners who made #fbm25 truly memorable. We're already looking forward to continuing this journey at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026, running from 7-11 October.
