Program
This year we have curated our programme around the theme of… The Future. What does the future look like for bookselling? For publishing? For reading books, for writing books? Join us to explore the future - but you can’t move forward without a bit of retrospection so there’ll be time for that too. We'll be presenting the full program later in May.
