This year, the Book Fair organized from October 15-19. In particular, the first 3 days include activities exclusively for entrepreneurs and publishers. This is a golden time for publishers and copyright representative companies to meet, negotiate and sign contracts.
To optimize the connection, the Organizing Committee has developed the online platform Frankfurt Connect. This platform allows participants to search for display units, view the contact information of the publisher, and search for related events. This is a useful tool to make an appointment, an extremely important preparation step because copyright appointments are usually scheduled from July, even January every year.
The public can go to the Frankfurt book on 2 weekends.
