For more than 60 years, the Bologna Book Fair has been one of the world’s most influential publishing events, attracting over 1,400 exhibitors and 35,000 publishing professionals and the public each year. This is the fair where J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series were first discovered—and where new voices continue to gain global attention.

In 2021, BolognaBookPlus (BBPlus) was launched to expand the fair into the adult trade market. Led by Guest Director Jacks Thomas, former Director of The London Book Fair (2013–2020), BBPlus has quickly become a must-attend destination for authors, publishers, agents, and production companies looking for fresh content and new opportunities.
