LEIPZIG LIEST (Leipzig reads): REGISTRATION FOR EXHIBITORS

Lesung auf einer Bühne vor vollbesetztem Publikum während der Leipziger Buchmesse 2024

Exhibitors can take part in Leipzig Book Fair's literary programme with their own events. Organise readings, discussions and other events together with your authors in the various sub-programmes, including the Book Industry Conference programme, FOKUS BILDUNG (focus on education), the Manga Comic-Con programme and the children's and youth programme. All events will be automatically added to the events catalogue.

Why is an event at the Leipzig liest reading festival ideal to complement your exhibition stand?

  • direct contact with readers (interaction)
  • discussions on the subject and content of the event or book
  • forums at the fair where visitors can discover new stories and content
  • added flair at various distinctive event venues across the city
  • savings on organisation and costs for events
  • opportunities to offer book sales and signings
  • visibility: marketing for your authors, books and company as well as increased media attention if desired

Which venues and formats can I submit event requests for?

When registering, you can select different options depending on whether you plan to hold your event at Leipzig Book Fair, in the city or at the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL).

Rooms of various sizes can be booked at the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) for private events.

For bookings in the city, our team will arrange a location that fits the theme of your events following registration and consultation.

For events at the trade fair, you can specify your preferred forum or format in your submission. This information will assist the Leipzig liest project team during the planning process. Exhibitors do not have the right to demand that their event be held in the preferred forum or format. All forums at the trade fair are equipped with technical equipment such as microphones, laptops, projectors and screens.

To what extent can I register events?

The number of events requested is initially decided by the exhibitor. Depending on the size of the stand we try to make these possible in the locations available to us (see table of area keys). In coordination with the Leipzig liest team it is also possible to register event requests that exceed this key.
