It is also a cross-industry meeting point for players from the film industry and the games sector. Be there up close as new bestsellers are presented and get autographs from your favourite authors.

Since 1976, the focus of the programme has been the guest of honour, which changes every year and introduces the fair audience to its book market, literature and culture in many different ways.
