A major media event

The Göteborg Book Fair is a major media event. Over 1 200 journalists and photographers were accredited in 2009. Journalists at the Book Fair benefit from both inspiration and a foundation for material and articles throughout the year! To be accredited means that you get a personal press card and have attendance to all seminars and the exhibition halls. As an accredited journalist you have full access to our press center, offering a place to work, computers, TV, fax, press releases and knowledgeable staff. The Press Centre is situated on the first floor. Venues for press conferences and interviews are available next to the press center.

We warmly welcome you to accredit yourself here.
