Exhibiting at BolognaBookPlus

BolognaBookPlus aims to give general trade companies an opportunity to expand their reach across Europe and beyond, through a variety of exhibiting packages.

Building on the 60-year history of BCBF, and with a team of experienced exhibition organisers, BBPlus is an additional focal point in the trade publishing calendar, allowing those who traditionally visit BCBF additional opportunities for their general trade colleagues.

Packages range from ’space only’ options, turnkey ‘turn up and trade’ stands, through to rights tables in the new combined children’s and general adult trade rights centre, Bologna Rights Centre. BCBF exhibitors wanting to broaden their presence with stands in the BBPlus area will also receive a discount.

BolognaBookPlus is the brand extension of BCBF, extending the reach of the well-established children’s fair into the general trade audience globally. Exhibiting at BolognaBookPlus will enable you to connect with the general trade market at a prestigious Spring European fair, whilst also accessing the audience and success of the prestigious BCBF. There are several options for exhibiting, which will be attractive to all in the global book ecosystem, for example:

Publishers
Agents
Scouts
Distributors
Consultants
Tech
Service providers

In addition to physical exhibiting, there are options for showcasing your titles without having to be present.

The attractive exhibition offer is supported by a range of training and conferences, including rights training; a translation conference, a professional seminar programme and awards.
