📢 FutureBook is coming to The London Book Fair.

For the first time, The Bookseller’s FutureBook Conference will take place as part of the LBF week, bringing its big-picture conversations about the future of publishing to an international audience at Excel London.

Taking place on Monday 15 March 2027, the one-day conference and awards will bring together publishing leaders and future leaders to explore some of the biggest shifts facing the industry – from AI and DEI to censorship and fandom – and, importantly, what they mean for publishing businesses and professionals.

For LBF Director Emma Lowe, bringing the two together is a “full circle moment”, combining FutureBook’s space for industry conversation with the international reach and energy of the Fair.

FutureBook will kick off a packed Monday at Excel London, alongside The Writers’ Summit, HP ConTEXT and IPG training, before The London Book Fair opens from 16–18 March.

LBF 2027 starts here.
