After the resounding success of Bologna Children’s Book Fair in 2022 – once again an in-person event – we are now hard at work getting ready to welcome the international publishing community for our sixtieth edition from 6 to 9 March 2023!
BCBF will be celebrating this major milestone together with the 16th edition of Bologna Licensing Trade Fair/ Kids and BolognaBookPlus (BBPlus), our brand extension dedicated to general trade publishing organized in partnership with the Italian Publishers Association (AIE).
Before the announcement of all the new features and events planned, 2023 will kick off with the selection of the BolognaRagazzi Awards and the illustrators to be included in the Illustrators Exhibition, along with the third edition of Open Up – The BCBF Skill Box, our special platform hosting online workshops, seminars and other events – including another edition of the Virtual Illustrators Wall.
