Frankfurt Book Fair 2026: Connecting the Global Publishing Community
The Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) will take place in Frankfurt, Germany, from 7 to 11 October 2026, with Czechia as the Guest of Honour. Held each October, the fair brings together publishers, literary agents, authors and other industry professionals from around the world.
A major meeting point for the international publishing industry, the fair offers opportunities to discover new titles, discuss translation and licensing rights, and build business relationships across markets. Its exhibitions and professional programme also provide a setting for exchanging ideas and exploring developments in print and digital publishing.
Alongside its business activities, the Frankfurt Book Fair celebrates literature and cultural exchange through author events and public programmes. For publishers seeking international connections, it remains a valuable occasion to meet partners and explore how stories can reach readers across languages and borders.
