Well, the energy at the London Book Fair 2024 was electric - the fair even made The New York Times and The Guardian this year. After a few quieter years, the buzz isback, and we loved being in the thick of it. It was wonderful to reconnect with so many of our amazing clients, customers, and friends in the publishing world; a hugely positive experience for us, and massive thanks to everyone who stopped by the stand.
It's not all meeting-after-meeting either. Events like LBF bring our global teams physically together like nothing else; here's London-based IPS UK Senior Manager Matthew Dickie and California-based Acquisitions Director Gonzalo Ferreyra getting the drinks in for a particularly tasty LBF dinner...
While the book distribution landscape in the UK faces certain challenges these days IPS UK is proud to be investing in our business - and growing. We loved showcasing how we empower publishers to reach their full potential. Here's a taste of what we highlighted at LBF:
