About the LIBF Conference 2024.
Limassol International Book Fair Conference is the international professional programme of the 3rd Limassol International Book Fair (22-24 November 2024), and will take place on Friday, November 22nd, the first day of the Fair. At Limassol International Book Fair Conference 2024, a unique professional event for the book industry organized in Cyprus, publishers, booksellers, authors, librarians and book professionals from around Cyprus, together with book professionals from Greece, Europe and the Arab world, will meet again to discuss local, regional and international challenges and opportunities.
Following the success of our first two iterations, Limassol International Book Fair Conference 2024 expands the dialogue on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), new audiences and new technologies for the Cypriot libraries, continues its segment by segment contribution to the capacity building of the Cypriot book industry covering extensively digital marketing and artificial intelligence, dives deeper into the opportunities for growth provided by literary exchanges and translation rights in Europe and the Arab world and advocates for the impact and empowerment of women in the book industry.
Our extended programme of talks, Q&As and panel discussions followed by a cocktail reception will provide ample opportunities to inform, to inspire and to network. And in 2024 we inaugurate our first B2B Space, a dedicated space for professional meetings available throughout the Book Fair, and we launch Limassol Networking Meetings @ B2B Space, a chance to sit down and discuss more informally with our invited book professionals at a dedicated time slot, while we continue our partnerships with Cyprus Association of Librarians – Information Scientists (CALIS), University of Nicosia Library and Creative Europe Desk Cyprus.
