Having launched in 1972, the London Book Fair has established itself throughout the global market as the place where people go to to negotiate rights as well as sales and distribution of content across print, audio, TV, film and digital channels. With close to 25,000 publishing professionals lured to Earls Court by the 250 seminars and 2,000 exhibiting companies including publishers, agents and distributors on offer, you'd be a fool not to attend this three day event if books are your business. Few events can boast of their international status in the way that the London Book Fair can. Each year, thousands of business professionals from all over the globe travel to London with almost half of the visitors in 2011 travelling from overseas. The event caters for the whole of the publishing industry, bringing you up close and personal with your customer, content and emerging markets. Key visitor audiences include agents and scouts looking to sell or acquire rights to publish content, a range of publishers, small and large conducting sales and booksellers from the UK and beyond. You can get to Earls Court easily by train. Earl's Court underground station is close by which you can get to on the District and Piccadilly lines. And for those in need of a hotel, we can happily accommodate with our London Book Fair hotel offers.
