Note | Young Professionals Day 2026

Under this year’s theme, "The Future Is Shaped Through Conversation", the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels invites you to Young Professionals Day at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Take this opportunity to talk with industry experts and learn about different career paths in the book industry. From the keynote address to exciting panel discussions and speed dating, a diverse program awaits you—one designed for anyone new to the industry, looking to find their footing, or simply wanting to meet like-minded people. During speed dating, you will have the chance to ask questions directly in short one-on-one conversations, gain insights into various career fields, and make valuable connections.

Note: Our colleague Susanne Breuer will deliver the keynote address on the topic “Talking to One Another: Why You Should Make Nonviolent Communication a Core Competency.” And our colleague Lili Leuschner will speak in the “What Does … Actually Do?” segment about her work as a Scrum Master at MVB.
