The Book Industry Study Group (BISG) is excited to return to London this March for two important industry gatherings—the 2026 London Book Fair and HP’s ConTEXT Conference. This year’s events are especially meaningful as BISG celebrates 50 years of industry leadership, collaboration, and standards development.

From March 10–12, publishing professionals from around the world will gather to build relationships, exchange ideas, and tackle shared challenges—work BISG supports year-round through our committees, working groups, and collaborative initiatives.

We invite you to connect with us in London and be part of the conversations shaping the future of the book industry.

HP’s ConTEXT Conference

Monday, March 9, 2026 | 10:30AM–17:00PM
Prospero House, 241 Borough High Street, London, SE1 1GA

BISG is pleased to again attend HP’s 6th annual ConTEXT Conference on March 9. ConTEXT brings together leaders from book publishing, manufacturing, and industry associations for a full day of insights, panel discussions, and networking focused on the evolution of the print supply chain.

Key themes for 2026 will include:

  • Print supply chain efficiency and resilience

  • Sustainability and environmental responsibility

  • Emerging strategies and technologies shaping print production

Additional details, including the full agenda and registration information, will be shared soon. Space is limited, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates and plan to join this exclusive industry event.

London Book Fair: March 10–12, 2026

BISG will be co-exhibiting with EDItEUR, the London-based international standards organization, at Booth #5G101, and we invite you to stop by and connect with us in person.

Whether your focus is rights and licensing, metadata standards, supply chain innovation, sustainability, accessibility, or questions about BISAC, the London Book Fair is a great opportunity for meaningful, face-to-face conversations with the BISG team.

(And yes—we’ll have our can't-miss bookish stickers!)

Why Stop By Our Booth?

At #LBF2026, BISG is eager to:

  • Engage in strategic conversations about trends and challenges impacting publishers, suppliers, technologists, and rights professionals worldwide.
  • Highlight ongoing and upcoming initiatives, including standards development, metadata best practices, accessibility efforts, and collaborative programs that strengthen the industry.
  • Share updates on Book Publishing Next and BISG’s vision for improving supply chain communication.
  • Explore how BISG membership helps organizations solve real-world problems and advance best practices.
  • Hear directly from you—your experiences, questions, and priorities help guide BISG’s work and shape what we focus on next.

We’re not just showcasing what BISG does—we want to hear what you're thinking, what obstacles you’re facing, and how we can work together to make the industry stronger, more efficient, and more inclusive.

Let’s Meet in London

If you’ll be attending the London Book Fair, be sure to visit us at Booth #5G101 to connect with the BISG team and our colleagues from EDItEUR. Whether you have time for a quick hello or want to dig into a deeper conversation about collaboration, standards, or membership, we’d love to connect.

Planning ahead? We highly encourage you to schedule a meeting in advance—we’re happy to find a time that works with your LBF schedule. 

Whether you’re joining us at the London Book Fair, HP’s ConTEXT, or both, we look forward to seeing you in London and continuing the important conversations that move our industry forward.
