Professional visitors are welcome to use the Business Centre free of charge for the purpose of negotiations, conducting business meetings and discussing international rights.

Business Centre offers

A quiet, pleasant environment away from the hustle and bustle of the fair that allows for professionals to meet new and existing contacts and to negotiate potential business deals.

The Business Centre is also a Right’s Centre and so offers the opportunity to discuss international copyright issues with other professionals from the Czech book market as well as other international visitors.

It provides an opportunity to meet with a wide variety of professionals in the Czech book market, for example publishers, literary agents, distributors, booksellers and others.

A cost-effective way to do business as Book World is offering a table at a low price for professional guests to use in the Centre.

Free internet access is available to enable the visiting professional to keep in touch with the office.

Pre-marketing and B2B support; we can assist the visiting professional by recommending appropriate contacts in the Czech book market as well as helping to arrange meetings before the fair.

Assistants (Czech and English speaking) working at the fair can refer you to relevant publishers and assist in the arranging of meetings during the fair.
