Marketing, media, and publishing events
This category covers a wide mix: advertising and content-marketing conferences, and a strong contingent of book festivals and publishing fairs. On the marketing and media side, Advertising Week New York is next listed in New York for October, and Content Marketing World is next listed in Denver for October as well.
Publishing and book-festival coverage is deep here. Anchor events include:
- West Virginia Book Festival, next in Charleston for October.
- Bologna Children's Book Fair, next in Bologna for April.
- Twin Cities Book Festival, next in St. Paul for November.
- Gaithersburg Book Festival, next in Gaithersburg for May.
BookCon and eTail are also part of our catalog, though neither has a next date listed at the moment.
The calendar concentrates heavily in fall, with October carrying the most listed dates and November close behind. New York is the only city hosting more than one of these events in our current listings.
Choosing between them
The split here is really between trade-industry events built for marketers, agencies, and media buyers, and consumer-facing book festivals built for readers, authors, and publishing professionals. The two audiences don't overlap much, so it's worth being clear about which one you're going for before you look at a specific listing — a marketer looking for agency contacts will get little out of a book festival's programming, and vice versa. If you're working in book publishing specifically, our Book Publishing subtopic page narrows the list further, separating regional festivals from trade-focused fairs.
