The Bogotá International Book Fair (FIlBO) reopened the doors of the Corferias fairgrounds to welcome the thousands of attendees who will be able to enjoy the pavilions full of books over the next 14 days, the meetings that South Korea will host as guest of honor and the more than 1,600 events that will be held in face-to-face.
The programme for this edition, which has the slogan 'La Filbo Vuelve', will begin this Wednesday, April 20th with an agenda in which lovers of literature and culture can enjoy training workshops, talks and a presidential debate in which candidates will present and discuss their ideas about culture as one of the axes program programs of their Governments.
“FilBo is the most important cultural event in the country, it is the stage in which all the actions that are planned throughout the year take place and, most importantly, it is the time to generate long-term links with our readers. Returning to the presence of the FilBo is a challenge and a very valuable opportunity. From April 19 to May 2, we will live together, a program designed so that we can meet again from different perspectives,” emphasized the executive president of the Colombian Book Chamber, Emiro Aristizábal.
