FILBo Feria Internacional del Libro de Bogotá Bogota

The "FILBo Feria Internacional del Libro de Bogotá," established in 1988, is considered one of the most significant international book fairs in Bogotá, Colombia. The name "FILBo" originates from Spanish, standing for the "Bogotá International Book Fair." This annual event is held at the International Exhibition Center Corferias in Bogotá.

The organization of FILBo is managed by Corferias in cooperation with the Colombian Book Chamber. This collaboration has significantly contributed to FILBo's recognition as one of the most important book fairs in the Spanish-speaking world. The fair serves as a platform for all participants in the book production chain, ranging from authors, editors, and translators to publishers, distributors, and booksellers.

The focus of the fair is on presenting new books, promoting the publishing and literature sectors, and networking among professionals from various fields. Exhibitors represent industries such as publishing, book trade, graphic design, and illustration. Special highlights include the International Business Show and the FILBo Professional Conferences, which enhance business relationships and knowledge exchange. Also noteworthy is the Fellowship Program, inviting international experts to increase the global awareness of Colombian publishing production.

The fair's audience comprises representatives from a wide range of industries, especially from publishing, literature, and education.

FILBo is not only significant for Bogotá but also for the whole of Colombia, as it presents the country as a key player in the international book market. Thanks to its central location in the Corferias Exhibition Center, a well-known and easily accessible venue in Bogotá, FILBo is highly accessible.
