BISG@50 Meet Up: London

Category: In-Person Events

Join colleagues from across the book publishing industry supply chain for a relaxed BISG@50 Meet-Up and happy hour at the conclusion of the London Book Fair.


Whether you work in publishing, distribution, manufacturing, retail, or the library space, this is a chance to connect, unwind, and celebrate together.

As BISG marks its 50th anniversary, we’ll reflect on the standards, best practices, and collaboration that have strengthened our industry—and explore what comes next.

This gathering is also an opportunity to bid adieu to Brian O’Leary, BISG’s Executive Director.


Since joining BISG in 2016, Brian has led the organization through a period of profound industry change, championing collaboration across the publishing ecosystem and guiding critical work on standards and supply chain best practices.

Come celebrate Brian’s steady leadership, clarity of vision, and commitment to volunteer-driven progress across the book publishing supply chain. Soon, it's time for him to enjoy retirement!

We hope to see you at The Albion!
