The fair, featuring over 1,500 exhibitors from around 100 countries and attracting more than 31,000 professional visitors (+10% from 2023), was a significant event that also celebrated the high turnout at events promoted by GruppoMeta and ETT, dedicated to the theme of AI and publishing.

In particular, a speech delivered by Sam Habibi Minelli and Giorgio Genta at the BBPlus theatre, titled "Unlocking AI, VR, AR in Publishing: Tools for Authoring and Digital Content Creation" attracted over 60 attendees, including authors and publishers. The roundtable discussion "Navigating the Future: AI Tools for Publishers" held at the Caffè degli Autori and featuring Sam Minelli alongside speakers Sebastian Wehner from Wonderz and Wolkenlenker, Searsha Sadek from Shimmer, and Ashley Gordon from HP, also received enthusiastic feedback, with over 100 attendees including agents, authors, publishers, and illustrators. This event was also the subject of an in-depth article in the prestigious American weekly publication Publisher Weekly.
