The Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF) is the leading professional event for children’s publishing. Over the years, it has evolved into a truly transmedia platform, embracing the many ways stories and intellectual properties expand across formats, media, and audiences.
At the heart of this vision is the Transmedia Hall, bringing together dedicated business areas focused on audiovisual, gaming, licensing, and toys. Reflecting the growing evolution of content and intellectual property across multiple platforms, it creates unique opportunities for networking, rights trading, and cross-industry collaboration. By connecting publishers, producers, licensors, game developers, toy companies, and content creators from around the world, BCBF has established itself as a unique global marketplace where stories can grow beyond publishing.
The 64th edition will take place in Bologna, Italy, from 5 to 8 April 2027.
