Dates are 23 to 31 October with daily hours from 10:00 to 20:00. The venue listed for the event is Belgrade Fair Grounds. Organizer materials include exhibitor registration documents, accreditation procedures and visitor guidance.
Sectors and participant profile at the fair
Organizers describe a mix of publishers, authors, booksellers, librarians, book distributors and multimedia companies. That combination positions the fair at the intersection of traditional publishing and digital formats applied to learning and media.
Program highlights and special features
The program includes school day activities, family days, book presentations and sessions with prominent domestic and international authors. The event team publishes a presentation document and updates on committee meetings and the guest country program, in this case Tunisia. There are also dedicated channels for press accreditation and librarian tickets.
Commercial outreach and trade preparation
-
Segment targets by publisher and rights department. Use the exhibitor list to prioritize meetings and block time slots at stands in advance.
-
Bring concise sales material. A printed brochure and a digital catalog with title samples, license terms and contact details speed negotiations. Include translation briefs and backlist data when relevant.
-
Schedule meetings before arrival. Email commercial or rights contacts to secure meeting times on the fair days rather than relying solely on walk-up visits.
-
Tailor offers to booksellers and libraries with supply terms and sales projections. For multimedia providers prepare short demos showing content integration and platform capabilities.
