International Exhibitors Excited for LBF22

“[LBF] has always marked an important point in the publishing calendar… it is one of the few times when our whole industry physically comes together, even before the pandemic.”

—Tom Weldon, PRH

“After so long apart it will be fascinating to compare notes, talk about the books we’re excited about and share our experiences together. I can’t wait.”

—David Shelley, CEO Hachette UK

“Everyone we speak with is itching to get back to in-person events and those one-on-one meetings to find the next big deal, reconnect with colleagues and cultivate new contacts.”

—Janet Fritsch, American Collective Stand

“Independent publishers have pivoted nimbly to remote working and virtual meetings during the pandemic, but nothing beats getting together in person.”

—Bridget Shine, IPG

“The past two years have demonstrated the impact that industry-leading content has globally and coming together again will enable us to carry these conversations forward.”

—Matt Leavy, Wiley

“We are a sociable business, passionate about our books, authors and colleagues and it’s time to get that warm and fuzzy feeling of all being united in the same place for the same goals for good.”

—Cathryn Summerhayes from Curtis Brown
