Join us in-person at the London Book Fair for a panel with the 2026 Trailblazers, discussing their careers, their successes, and what they imagine the next year will bring. The panellists will share their knowledge and expertise as early career publishing professionals for those hoping to work in publishing.
The event will be immediately be followed by a networking session among the attendees in the same room.
The Trailblazers Awards celebrate publishing professionals who have demonstrated creativity and innovation, and have achieved notable accomplishments in the book industry. Nominees are in their first 10 years of working in the industry, have demonstrated the ability to inspire others, and have had a positive impact.
The awards are run by LBF in partnership with the Publishers Association, supported by the Society of Young Publishers and BookBrunch.
