The call is addressed to publishers, distributors, bookstores, companies, or entities related to the book publishing, cultural, or educational sectors, national and international literary agents, and any activity that is linked to the world of books and the publishing sector, which will be able to exhibit their wares.
To register exhibitors, academic and literary activities to be included in the 17th FILVEN program, those interested should fill out the respective forms available at the following links:
In order to protect and preserve the health of the Venezuelan population against COVID-19 and its possible strains, in order to mitigate and eradicate the risks of epidemic, the 17th FILVEN will be held virtually by Cenal’s digital platforms, while a portion of the fair will take place in the Federal Legislative Palace, in Caracas, under corresponding biosafety measures.
The 17th FILVEN will have as its central theme the Bicentennial of the Battle of Carabobo, and pays tribute to the renowned Venezuelan writer and journalist JosĂ© Vicente Rangel, and the philosopher and historian Vladimir Acosta. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is welcomed as FILVEN’s Guest Country of Honor this year.
