The London Book Fair 2023

More than just a book trade fair 

The LBF is a book publishing trade fair that attracts more than 25,000 industry professionals from more than 135 countries, as well as more than 1,700 exhibitors from 60 countries. It is the hub of the publishing world and the global marketplace rights negotiation and the sale and distribution of content across print, audio, TV, film, and digital channels. 

The London Book Fair offers attendees the opportunity to hear from up-and-coming and established story creators, meet leading figures in the book publishing industry, and see the latest product offerings. In line with this year’s theme, the exhibition aims to include a variety of content formats and promote links between publishing and other related creative industries, such as television and film, advertising, brand licensing, and games. 

The LBF is an ideal platform for participants to engage with their customers, build brand awareness, and conduct face-to-face business, as well as expand their viewpoint and gain a better understanding of the publishing and creative industry. Visitors should look forward to the 200+ conference sessions that will address topics such as consumer awareness, rights, education, and engagement in the publishing industry.  

At the London Book Fair, story creators, publishers, distribution and rights professionals, talent scouts, and other industry professionals come together to set the tone in publishing for the year ahead and, above all, bring new stories and characters to life.
