The 7th edition of Creativ’Book and the 20th edition of La Nuit du Livre are set to take place in Paris on December 2nd and 3rd, 2025. EDRLab will be following this event closely as it brings together two key aspects of the French publishing industry: technological innovation and editorial craftsmanship.
What is Creativ’Book?
As the only trade fair in France dedicated to the technological future of books, Creativ’Book is a unique event for all book professionals. It explores the entire book lifecycle, from creation and production to distribution, covering print, digital, and enriched formats.
A key aspect of Creativ’Book is its focus on strategic and technical foresight. The event will explore important questions shaping the future of the industry:
- Will AI transform the future of books?
- Do the book professions need to be reinvented?
- Printed books and digital experiences: what are the new uses?
- Does editorial creation lead to rethinking formats?
- The emergence of audiobooks and podcasts
- How to enhance the book?
- Self-publishing: a new path for books?
- The book: a strategic asset for brands?
This two-day event will feature over 20 exhibitors and 8 conferences. The program is designed to provide attendees with a concentrated look at the skills and solutions needed to produce, sell, and distribute books more effectively. It is set to offer a broadened vision of the book, highlighting the richness of editorial formats, from art books to augmented books, and from niche publications to major print runs, including audio and transmedia books.
La Nuit du Livre
Taking place alongside Creativ’Book, La Nuit du Livre is a prestigious ceremony that celebrates the excellence of French book production. For twenty years, it has rewarded remarkable works for their graphic quality, originality, and manufacturing standards. In a context of profound industry changes, La Nuit du Livre champions French know-how and honors all the professions in the book chain, whether it be paper, finishing, printing, or embellishment.
This ceremony is a showcase for French expertise and promotes the book as an object of creation, transmission, and desire. It recognizes the collective work and inventiveness of all stakeholders, from authors and editors to manufacturers and designers, who contribute to a book’s success. The awards celebrate the creative union between all these professionals. The awards ceremony will be held during a gala dinner on December 2nd.
The categories for the 2025 awards include:
- Beaux Livres (Art books)
- Bandes dessinées, Mangas (Comics and Manga)
- Littérature générale (Literature)
- Livres audios, Nouveaux formats (Audiobooks, New formats)
- Livres pratiques (How-to books)
- Jeunesse (Children’s books)
- Prix Spécial du Jury (Special Price)
We, at EDRLab, are interested in seeing the innovations and discussions that will emerge.
