First stop: Frankfurt!

Frankfurter Buchmesse - 18-22 October 2023

Hall 5.0 - Stand B100

The tour kicked off in Frankfurt, with the Buchmesse, the world’s leading event for generalist publishing and a fundamental opportunity for the development not only of BCBF, but also for its extension dedicated to generalist publishing BBPlus.

The Frankfurt Book Fair was particularly special this year in the run up to Italy’s role in the next edition as “Guest Country 2024”. Illustration and book exhibitions, guided tours, and focus sessions on licensing and video content: BCBF’s participation in Frankfurt provided important opportunities not only for in-depth discussions on a broad range of topics concerning children’s publishing, but also for networking and consolidating fruitful synergies.
