Writers from all over the world in a cross-cultural dialogue
Many of the world’s most prominent intellectuals come here to discuss, debate and voice their opinions. Last year there were 2400 events including seminars, talks, readings, panel discussions, signings and much more, both within our well respected seminar programme and on the stands. The Book Fair is an ideal forum for cross-cultural dialogue and the open discussion of controversial ideas and global development.
