Book fairs & exhibitions
Our website provides a comprehensive list of international book fairs and exhibitions, which is updated on a regular basis.
Through our TurnKey Exhibition Services ™ division, we provide companies (members and non-members of the PA), with an easy one-stop service at some book fairs. We will take care of all your stand booking requirements, including orgainsing your shipping to and from the fair, on-site catering and stand assistants, if required.
The Publishers Association and The London Book Fair have created a book fair partnership designed to deliver a stronger UK book brand presence at the major international book fairs. Under the new brand, UK Publishing, opportunities to join the collectives are open to all publishers, from small to large.
Some of our book fairs attract UK Trade & Investment support. If you are an established company looking to break into key markets or a new exporter, then you could be entitled to support.
