Each year, Frankfurter Buchmesse stands as the most important trading hub for printed and digital content and as a key event on the cultural and social calendar. Every October, publishing experts, creative industry professionals, authors and stars, journalists, and culture lovers from around the globe come together in Frankfurt — to connect, discuss, negotiate, be inspired, and celebrate.

Following a vibrant 2025 edition, preparations for the next industry gathering are already in full swing: From 7 to 11 October 2026, Frankfurter Buchmesse will once again open its doors.
