In collaboration with the Embassy of Canada to Germany and Livres Canada Books, Canada FBM2020 is pleased to announce that Canada will have a stand at the 2019 edition of the Leipzig Book Fair (March 21-24).

Leipzig is the second largest German fair after the Frankfurt Book Fair, therefore an essential event for the book industry, and especially important for Canada next spring: traditionally, the Leipzig Fair serves as a strategic location for the Frankfurt Guest of Honour to launch its literary programming.

This year, Canada will take an active part in the Book Fair activities, with the following programme:

Thursday, March 21st, Forum International Stage, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
