#fbm24: MVB at Frankfurter Buchmesse

Visit us from 16. to 20.10.2024.

You will find us in hall 4.0, E 21 – we look forward to seeing you.

Ciao Italia!

Literary trips to the "boot" in the south of Europe are a well-known tradition here in Frankfurt. Goethe sends his regards ;-) Now Italy is coming to us, how amazing.

We are very much looking forward to the Guest of Honour appearance under the slogan "Roots in the future" and are already excited to discover new perspectives on Italy. If you would like to get a sneak preview, we recommend our traditional list of new publications in VLB-TIX.

And of course we have also produced a special edition of our popular "BOOKS. BOOKS? BOOKS!" postcard for this years Guest of Honour.

As always, there are many good reasons to visit us. We discuss current challenges facing the industry in our MVB-Austausch (MVB Exchange). We present award-winning and honoured book people – from the presentation of the Börsenblatt Young Excellence Award and the election of the "Content Start-up of the Year" at our CONTENTshift accelerator to a talk with the person who wrote the best novel of the year. And last but not least, colleagues from all five MVB locations will be availble to provide advice on our services in the German-speaking countries, in Brazil and Mexico, in the USA and in the UK.

You can find all the information about our trade fair appearance at #fbm24 on this page.

See you and a presto in Frankfurt

Book Recommendations for Event Highlights

We asked publishers for their recommendations for titles with event highlights at #fbm24. The result is a varied VLB-TIX catalogue with new releases for every taste. These reading tips give a little taste of Frankfurt Buchmesse's program. Have fun browsing!

With Passion for Italy

LIBRI. LIBRI? LIBRI! – BOOKS. BOOKS? BOOKS!

What could be better than celebrating the world of books together? For example, with a voyage of discovery through Italian literature, which is presenting itself as this year's Guest of Honour at Frankfurter Buchmesse with the slogan "Roots in the Future". We are very much looking forward to the program and the many new publications and hope all visitors enjoy discovering them.

An overview of the current titles is also available as a separate preview in our novelty platform VLB-TIX: www.vlbtix.de/italien

PS: By the way, our great Guest of Honour postcard is available free of charge at our stand – and of course at the Guest of Honour information desk on 2023 at Forum 1. Better be quick.

With Passion for Self-Publishing

Wether for your assortment design, your program planning or for your own reading supplies: with our Livro joint exhibition (Hall 3.0, C 97) and the Livro exhibition catalogue, you will find orientation in the extensive range of books from small and independent publishers.

Let yourself be inspired.

With Passion for Booksellers

Hooray! From now on, you can create your own catalogues for your bookshop from all active products in the Verzeichnis Lieferbarer Bücher (VLB), the German books in print database, and exchange them within your team or between several branches and send them externally to your customers. With a VLB subscription, you now have access to the new premium function bookseller catalogues in VLB-TIX. This allows book buyers to discover their new favourite titles and buy them directly from your bookshop via an automatic webshop link.

With Passion for Customer Loyalty

New year, new concept: From 2025, our Buchjournal will be published with four issues per year. In addition, a new advisory board with members from bookshops and publishers as well as readers will support the ongoing development of the magazine.

This means even more inspiration for your customers - provided you secure the copies for your customer magazine by 31.10.2024: Order now!

With Passion for Display Advertising

Moving images move people: Because they attract attention. This also works in the bookshop. Our new Bewegte Schaufenster offer publishers and booksellers an ideal way to attract more attention at the point of sale (pos). Animated and rolling content is perceived as more valuable and offers more possibilities for staging. And this is now also possible in bookshops. Real eye-catchers, not only for regular customers, but also for potential book buyers.

Our media team will be happy to explain how the subscription model works and what the conditions are in a personal conversation on site at our booth, where we will be presenting a sample screen. Just come by and be moved yourself.

With Passion for Creators

Do you have a favorite author? What if you could automatically receive a message as soon as a new book by this author is published? Or if you could always find the latest information about this person on a central page? Nice, isn't it?

Services like these can be used to create precisely tailored buying impulses. But to get there, we as an industry need to quickly roll out the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) and its scientific counterpart, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), across the board. This is why we will make the unique, personal assignment in the Verzeichnis Lieferbarer Bücher (VLB) status-relevant information from 2025. We explain what this means for publishers on the VLB website (in German).

With Passion for Mexico

More reach for Metabooks: Since August 2024, more than 13,000 titles have been added to the Mexican version of our metadatabase. More and more industry companies are relying on the standardized product information when marketing books. New on board are the Spanish intermediary bookseller Océano, the Latin American print-on-demand provider Bibliomanager and the most important book fair in northern Mexico, the Feria Internacional del Libro Monterrey (FILMTY) – click here for the press release. Our colleague Ricardo Costa will be available at Frankfurter Buchmesse to answer questions about the Mexican book market and our offerings there.

With Passion for Metadata

Facts, fakes and false trails – AI under control?! This is the motto of this year's MVB Data Summit. In 2024, everything at our online conference for successful metadata management will revolve around the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Based on impulses, best practice examples and new business models, the participants will discuss current issues so that working with AI does not mutate into a data technology ejector seat. Our programme is ready – buckle up, let's go.
