The Frankfurt Book Fair Preview


 

The Frankfurt Book Fair (which runs October 19–23 this year) will always be a book fair. But as technology has presented new opportunities for publishers, authors, and creators, the fair's organizers have smartly expanded its professional program over the past decade to bring in other sectors of the creative economy, including film, games, and now the art world.

For 2016, the Frankfurt Book Fair has partnered with media entrepreneur and art collector Christiane zu Salm to launch a new platform called the Arts+ that will bring speakers and attendees together in Frankfurt to discuss "new business models and synergies" between the arts and technology.
