LIBER International Book Fair 2025 in Madrid
LIBER 2025 will take place from October 7 to October 9, 2025 at the IFEMA exhibition center in Madrid, Spain. This international book exhibition is one of Spain’s foremost gatherings for professionals in the Spanish-language publishing world. The fair is expected to attract publishers, authors, agents, cultural institutions, and literary enthusiasts from across the Spanish speaking countries and beyond. As a platform that promotes both print and digital publishing, LIBER offers a broad program including conferences, business meetings, and cultural events.
Over the three days of the fair, participants will engage in activities such as rights trading meetings, publisher forums, panel discussions, and networking sessions. There will be a strong emphasis on digital publishing, exploring how Spanish and Latin American markets are adopting eBooks, audiobooks, and hybrid distribution models. Sessions will address topics such as open access, digital platforms, translation, innovations in marketing, and sustainability in publishing. Attendees will find opportunities to present new titles, explore translation agreements, and connect with international collaborators.
In addition to business, LIBER 2025 also promotes cultural engagement through author talks, special literary awards, exhibitions, and educational programs aimed at promoting reading culture. The fair often highlights a Guest of Honor or special theme. For 2025, the fair will pay tribute to Ángela Ramírez for her contributions to the Valencian publishing sector. The award ceremony is scheduled during the main event.
