CONTEC in Latin America

The Frankfurter Buchmesse (FBM) is the world's leading forum for printed and digital content. This is where experts from the book world meet with players from other technology and creative industries to exchange ideas, get inspired, network, and do business. The FBM Guest of Honour programme aims to introduce the literature and culture of a market to international book trade professionals and visitors of the fair. One of the main objectives is to get as many translations into other languages as possible. The key themes for this participation are:

-Internationalisation
-Translation
- Negotiations of Rights and Licenses

Audiobooks, audio dramatisations, podcasts and other spoken word formats are gaining new audiences around the globe constantly. This creates new opportunities for publishers, creative writers, actors, and producers. At the same time voice content must be created as thoughtful as the story that is told and monetising audio content is always challenging. We will address the biggest trends and challenges in audio publishing. From global numbers to examples of successful consumer driven spoken word developments, monetising, and artificial intelligence (AI).

The main wish of a publisher is that when publishing a book, it should be as successful as possible. However, to achieve this goal, books must be found by booksellers and potential readers as easily as possible. This is what metadata is for.
Countries such as Germany, the UK and recently Brazil have shown that better metadata increases book sales.
