Bologna Children’s Book Fair continues on sharing the best of its expertise and know-how with the international children’s book community. From 4 to 7 May, the BCBF Online Special Edition brings to everyone its business, atmosphere, content and opportunities – including digital exhibitions, webinars, conferences, book trailers, live streaming announcements and much more.
The special online edition features two initiatives organised in the framework of ALDUS.
The BCBF Global Rights Exchange: an online hub for rights trading powered by the international rights platform PubMatch, will be launched on 4 May and open until the end of the year. All the most important editorial issues released every year on the occasion of the fair will therefore move to the online platform, allowing the almost 1500 exhibitors who already registered for BCBF 2020 to present their titles, make and receive offers and schedule video meetings.
