Frankfurt Book Fair 2026
The world's largest international publishing trade fair, bringing together publishers, literary agents, rights professionals and technology providers from more than 100 countries.
The Frankfurt Book Fair remains the single most important global marketplace for publishing rights, licensing agreements and international publishing partnerships. Each year thousands of publishing professionals gather in Germany to negotiate translation rights, discover emerging publishing technologies and identify new market opportunities.
The fair provides independent publishers, self-publishing service providers and literary agencies with unparalleled access to international booksellers, wholesalers, media organisations and publishing decision makers. Alongside rights trading, the event hosts hundreds of seminars, keynote speeches and industry discussions covering artificial intelligence, digital publishing, audiobooks and future publishing trends.
For publishers seeking international growth, Frankfurt remains one of the most significant events in the global publishing calendar.
