Frankfurt Book Fair is one of the largest and world’s most prestigious trade fair for books; it will be take place from 10 to 14 October 2018. It is organized by Frankfurter Buchmesse (FBM), a subsidiary of publishers and booksellers association. The 5-day annual event is the world’s most important book fair; it brings with it a range of deals from publishers from across geographies.
This year marks its 70th anniversary. The event will cover all about printed and digital content and the relevant topics for the coming year. In its previous edition, the idea of creating a meeting place for fair visitors, exhibitors and Frankfurt locals in the evening was implemented on a small scale. This time, the book fair will be organized on a larger scale. The organizers plan to conduct interactive events such as poetry slams, talks, cooking events and performances touching a wide range of topics at almost 20 bars and various locations in Frankfurt.
Another highlight of this edition of the Frankfurt Book Fair will be the Frankfurt Pavilion; it is a new emblem of Frankfurt Buchmesse. A 6.5 m tall wodden structure will serve as the main stage for events. Authors and industry experts from around the world will serve as the heart of the book fest. Almost 50 events will be held at the Frankfurt Pavilion with authors and prominent guests, including bestselling authors Paul Beatty, Meg Wolitzer, Maja Lunde, Deniz Yucel, Dimitry Glukhovsky, Cixin Liu, Robert Seethaler and German musician Udo Lindenberg. On 14 October 2018, the pavilion will host events for families and children.
In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing
Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.
India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
