Comics and graphic novels are one of publishing’s fastest growing markets, and BCBF has dedicated a special Comics Corner to this thriving sector: a dedicated exhibition area with showcases and meeting tables available to publishers.
The Corner is designed to offer both BCBF Exhibitors – who will be offered special prices – and publishers not exhibiting at the trade show their own special space in this area exclusively dedicated to comic books.
Italian comic book publishers will this year be in the spotlight with a dedicated matchmaking programme developed with the support of the Italian Trade Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
Comic books also have a special section on the Global Rights Exchange, BCBF’s digital copyright trading platform.
BCBF’s spotlight on comics will also include a broad raft of events. These include the BolognaRagazzi Comics Award and meetings looking at both the artistic and business side of the comic book.
Exhibiting Options (costs referred to the 2024 edition):
- Books Showcase. For Exhibitors the price is €465.00 (+VAT if due) and for non-Exhibitors €670.00 (+VAT if due)
- Personal table (only in addition to the books showcase) €415.00 (+VAT if due)
