4.29.2009 London Book Fair Report

Gilroy met with clients and industry friends at the London Book Fair on April 20-22, 2009. “LBF has always been one of the best meeting settings for me,” reported Gilroy. “Even with attendance slightly down, it was once again a brisk meeting venue. I kept busy in the licensing pavilion and had two offsite meetings. This has always been a show that is big enough that you know you are going to run into someone you hadn’t planned to see—but it’s not so packed that you can’t stop for a few minutes to catch up. That said, anyone who attends LBF seems prepared to do business." more
