Publishers Lunch
The London Book Fair
is moving back to March
in 2017,
scheduled for Tuesday, March 14 through Thursday, March 2017 -- with the Bologna Children's Fair
announcing dates at the same time, scheduled for April 3 through April 6. LBF
director Jacks Thomas says in the announcement, "It seemed to be the best
solution to a logistical problem of these two important shows otherwise being
back-to-back due to the way that Easter and other holidays fall in 2017 with
the latter having an effect on venue scheduling."
The release notes that the two shows "communicated over what is hoped to
be a practical solution to a potential bottleneck of dates in 2017. The London
Book Fair has worked closely with their venue partner, Olympia, to get the best
dates available within a very crowded event schedule, particularly as Spring
holidays are taking place later in 2017."
