What began as an exciting experiment, turned out to be a great success. The pandemic-induced Special Edition of Frankfurter Buchmesse 2020 was entirely without hall exhibitors, but enhanced by numerous digital offers, accessible worldwide. The goal was to send out a message of hope in difficult times: to the entire industry, and to fans of literature all over the world.
All our expectations for this year's predominantly digital fair were exceeded. Thanks to the great number of digital exhibitors who took advantage of the opportunity to
present their brands to the world. Thanks to the many publishing professionals and literature enthusiasts who used our digital formats. Together, we made the best Frankfurter Buchmesse possible in a year like this one. In the name of literature, of culture, of new ideas.
Thanks again to everyone who has been a part of it! Now join us in looking forward to October 2021 – when, we hope, we will be back at the exhibition site, all across Frankfurt, and digitally around the world.
