The Educational Publishing Pavilion at Frankfurt

The Educational Publishing Pavilion (EPP) was launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF). A partnership between the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Association of Educational Publishers (AEP), the EPP is a fair within the fair designed specifically to facilitate international relationships for developers of educational content. In its inaugural year, the venue was conveniently situated in the heart of the fairgrounds, affording its exhibitors exposure to a huge amount of book fair traffic. (View an image of the 2007 EPP or read testimonials from 2007 participants.)

From Publishing Without Boundaries: How to Think, Work, and Win in the Global Marketplace, by Michael Ross

The Frankfurt Book Fair...is by far the biggest, the most talked about, and the one fair that continues to grow year after year...Most publishers think about the annual book-fair cycle as beginning with Frankfurt, even though it takes place in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. Big titles get their international debut at Frankfurt, and many of the more substantial deals are sealed or announced at the fair...For all practical purposes, the new publishing year begins with this fair, and publishers finalize their spring lists at this time.
