Book Fair Schedules

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."
