Organizers say this year’s fair will feature a "rebranding, with a new style and big names from Europe, Greece, Cyprus, and the Middle East." The lineup includes notable authors like Louis-Philippe Dalambert, Isidoros Zourgos, Amanda Michalopoulou, and Achilleas Kyriakidis.

The 2024 conference portion of the fair will convene 31 industry experts discussing pressing topics such as AI in publishing, digital book marketing, and the role of libraries in sustainable development.
