Over its three days, LIBER recorded 11,200 visitors, 14% up on the last such event held in Madrid
The LIBER International Book Fair closed its 35th year with a satisfactory commercial balance, as confirmed by the vast majority of participating publishers. During the three days over which the event was held, which was opened by the former Minister of Education, Culture and Sports, Íñigo Méndez de Vigo, LIBER was confirmed as the main business platform of the book sector dedicated to Spanish language publishing, and one of the most important international sector events.
A few hours after it closed, LIBER had recorded around 11,200 visitors, representing an increase of 14% on the last such event held in Madrid in 2015.
On this occasion, 452 exhibitors exhibited their latest developments, with the prominent presence of Argentina as Guest Country of Honour, which has brought a comprehensive cultural programme to Madrid in addition to the participation of numerous authors and publishers.
All this has underlined the dynamism of the country’s culture and its literature in this growing publishing market.
Poland will be the Guest of Honour
The Book Institute and the Polish Institute of Culture will collaborate in a special joint initiative to disseminate and promote Polish publishing in Spain, as well as getting to know the country's leading authors and publishers.
This tribute to Poland is part of the joint efforts of the Fair and the Federation of Publishers' Guilds of Spain (FGEE) to strengthen the internationalisation of the book sector and establish closer cultural and commercial relations with markets of great potential for Spain.
LIBER 2023 invites 624 Buyers and Specifiers from 63 countries to boost publishing business meetings
IFEMA MADRID and the Federation of Spanish Publishers' Guilds (FGEE), in collaboration with various institutions, have selected these key professionals from the book market to participate in business meetings with exhibitors at the next edition of the International Book Fair. LIBER will be held from 4 to 6 October at the Madrid Exhibition Centre.
Once again, exhibitors at the International Book Fair, LIBER 2023, will have the opportunity to develop business contacts to enhance the presence of their books in foreign markets. All this thanks to the launch of the Buyers' Programme which, as in every edition, is promoted by the Spanish Publishers' Federation (FGEE) at the suggestion of the more than 800 publishers who are members of the various member guilds and associations and the Spanish Economic and Commercial Offices abroad, with the aim of boosting sales in the foreign market of the companies exhibiting at the fair, most of which are publishers from all over Spain.
