19 Jun Meet me in Belgrade vol.1 – International publishers meetings at XVI KROKODIL Festival
This year, the KROKODIL Association is initiating the Meet me in Belgrade program – international publishers meetings. The goal of this program, which will be held as part of the KROKODIL Festival, is to create an international platform that allows local, regional and foreign publishers to get to know each other, exchange experiences and ideas, initiate new projects and cooperation.
On Friday, June 21, 27 publishers from 9 countries will gather in the Debate Zone of the KROKODIL Festival (the park in front of the Museum of Yugoslavia) for a series of B2B meetings that will include a dynamic, short mutual introduction of all present publishers, analogous to the popular speed dating format, as well as four longer one-on-one sessions lasting half an hour each, divided into two blocks.
The next day, on Saturday, June 22, at 10:00 a.m., a panel discussion will be held on the topic of residencies for literary creators and their role and contribution they can make to publishing business. The participants of the panel will be writer Dora Šustić, current resident of KROKODIL’s House for Writers; writer and translator Maja Ručević, laureate of the literary residencies project Ulysses’ Shelter; Nevena Milojević, rights manager at Laguna publishing house; and German Gácio Baquiola, coordinator of the International Alliance of Independent Publishers. The panel will be moderated by Maja Vuković Biserko, and it will be held in English.
Meet me in Belgrade vol. 1 is supported by LIT-UP and READ projects.
