Exhibition areas and hall layouts
Halls 2, 4 and 5 are home to a wide range of Fiction and Non-Fiction Books – with a focus on independent publishers in Hall 5. New adult fans can meet their stars and publishers in several halls, especially in Halls 4 and 3. Media, newspapers and magazines can be found as usual in various exhibition worlds in Halls 2, 4 and 5 as well as in the Glass Hall.
Hall 2 will remain the focal point for Specialist Books/Science, Religion, Travel Literature and Education. To make it even more attractive for educators, the Music section with its numerous offers for music teachers will also be moving to Hall 2. With the Congress Center Leipzig directly adjacent, there is a perfect connection to the numerous trade events that take place there. Hall 2 is also home to the Audio section, which is being redesigned and will focus on topics such as audio books and podcasts in future.
Children, adolescents and families will find Children’s and Young Adult Literature in two halls with new reading material and lots of opportunities to get active themselves. To this end, Hall 3 will be expanded to include offerings in Hall 5. The broader publishing programme for children, adolescents and young adults can still be found in Hall 3. Children’s book publishers and independent children’s book publishers now have a new home in Hall 5. The Fantastic Section, where readers of fantasy, science fiction and horror can immerse themselves in alien worlds, is in Hall 3.
As usual, visitors will find International Topics and this year’s Guest Country Norway in Hall 4.
Hall 5 is dedicated entirely to the topics Art Book, Non-Book, Service Providers for Publishers and Book Trade as well as autoren@leipzig. The Antiquarian Book Fair will also take place again in Hall 5. It welcomes the Book Art & Graphic Arts section as a new neighbour, whose exhibitors wanted to be in close proximity to the antiquarian book fair.
The Manga Comic Con, located in Hall 1 and Hall 3, is a major convention for fans of manga, anime, comics, games and cosplay.
