ARPress has been actively participating and engaging in various worldwide events, such as book fairs, conferences, book exhibitions, and book signings, and still leaves room for contemporary book events.
Bologna is home to a unique three-in-one event: the Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF), the world’s leading trade fair for the children’s publishing industry; BolognaBookPlus (BBPlus), the extension dedicated to general trade publishing; and the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair/Kids (BLTF/Kids), the BCBF licensing event for subsidiary rights of brands and properties for children, teens and young adults.
The 62nd edition of Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF) will be taking place in the BolognaFiere Exhibition Centre from 31 March to 3 April 2025 together with BolognaBookPlus (BBPlus), the event for generalist publishing organised in collaboration with the Association of Italian Publishers (AIE), and the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair/Kids (BLTF/Kids), which focuses on the sector of children’s brands.
The three Bologna events form an increasingly interconnected world, a genuine ecosystem encompassing all publishing sectors and much more besides. The fair’s business line up, in fact, is expanding once again with new areas designed to intercept evolving market segments, thereby opening up wider possibilities for exhibitors and visitors to develop publishing content on new media. About 1500 exhibitors from 90 countries and regions of the world are expected at the 2025 edition, including, for the first time, participants from: Albania, Azerbaijan, Ecuador, Georgia, Guatemala, Iceland, Madagascar, Malta, North Macedonia, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand.
The 2025 Guest of Honour Country is Estonia, the small nation on the Baltic Sea that boasts a lively and dynamic publishing market producing high quality content across various genres. The publishing industry plays a significant role in preserving Estonian culture, language and national identity, and sees Bologna Children’s Book Fair as an important opportunity to boost its visibility and access to international markets. Estonia is also at the centre of the Market of Honour at BolognaBookPlus, and the Talking Pictures competition dedicated to the design of visual books.
ARPress has been aspiring to connect and engage as many authors, publishers, educators, libraries, and many more as possible. It has always been the heart of it to share stories of diversity where different cultures, languages, and religions, with all their differences, come together to listen, understand, and learn life through different eyes – including the little eyes.
The years of success that ARPress and its published authors have had have been fruitful not just to the authors but to the readers and many organizations as well. From the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference to different book fairs such as the Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse), London Book Fair, Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), and counting.
Now, ARPress is beyond excited and honored to announce that we will be participating in the the 62nd Edition of Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF) 2025 at Bologna – Italy on 31 March – 3 April 2025.
The Bologna Children’s Book Fair is an industry-leading event that has succeeded in bringing together a unique and diverse global audience thanks to 61 years of experience. The result is the world’s premier copyright exchange hub when it comes to publishing, which also extends to current multimedia and licensing businesses for children’s stories, illustrations, animation, and related areas.
Publishers, illustrators, graphic designers, literary agents, authors, translators, mobile developers, licensors and licensees, packagers, printers, distributors, audiobook professionals, booksellers, brands, librarians, and teachers all flock to the event each spring to experience the world of books and multimedia products in thousands of booths across six huge halls.
