Yesterday I visited the Frankfurt Bookfair, the biggest show for book professionals worldwide. I used to go there regularly when I was in the medical publishing business, but since 7 years I had been missing this huge opportunity to learn about the latest trends and development in the way information is passed around.
Well, I wasn’t disappointed: the official excuse to go there was to develop my Blue Highways business, but I am not ashamed to admit that soon I lost track of that objective to get lost among the 7,448 exhibitors from 108 countries who presented 391,653 titles. I was only one of the almost 300,000 visitors, but enjoyed myself thoroughly.
To next year!
