Guadalajara International Book Fair

Exhibitors

Salón del Cómic + Novela Gráfica #LeemosCómics

Comics are currently booming and at the Guadalajara International Book Fair we want to give it the importance it deserves. We believe that in Salón del Cómic local and international talent can be developed, this not only motivates the sale to the general public, but also generates the business activity that is already done in other areas of FIL in topics such as children's book university, literature, etcetera.

The Comic Fair will open the last four days of the Fair, from December 1 to 4, and will have three types of participation:

Participation with stand at Salón del Cómic + Novela Gráfica:

Exhibition area with 40 stands (230 square meters). The project includes the exhibition and sale of local, national and international comics, as well as developing talent and exhibiting material from Mexico and Latin America.

The cost of each space of nine square meters will be ten thousand and seven hundred Mexican pesos for the exhibitors of 2019 who renew their participation before May 12 or twelve thousand five hundred pesos for any reservation made after May 12.
The space includes: panels, four shelves per screen, lighting, electrical outlet, two chairs, one table, carpet, identification sign and three badges.
Space in the Books Warehouse.
