Booksellers across Europe are organizing a conference in Riga
The literary world is abuzz with anticipation as the **2025 RISE Bookselling Conference** prepares to take place in the culturally rich city of Riga, Latvia, on March 23 and 24, 2025 [2]. This significant event is organised by the European and International Booksellers Federation (EIBF), an organisation committed to supporting and strengthening the bookselling sector worldwide [1].
Riga, a city with a strong literary heritage, is the perfect setting for this gathering. The city's rich history and love for literature make it an ideal host for the international bookselling community [3]. The conference is particularly significant as it coincides with the 500th anniversary of the first Latvian book, further emphasising the importance of literature in the region [4].
The 2025 RISE Bookselling Conference is not just a celebration of literature but an opportunity for booksellers from across the globe to collaborate and share knowledge [2]. The event is expected to attract representatives from Europe, Canada, Australia, Egypt, and many other countries, with a total of 30 countries represented [5]. The Latvian Booksellers Association, a longstanding member of the EIBF, is proud to be part of this pan-European and international gathering [6].
The focus of the conference is squarely on the bookselling industry, providing a platform for professionals to discuss the challenges and opportunities in bookselling within Latvia and beyond [2]. This exchange of ideas is crucial in preserving and growing the nation's literary heritage, ensuring that the love for books continues to thrive.
The organisers of the conference are excited to bring RISE to Riga, further cementing Latvia's position as a cultural hub in the Baltic region. The conference underscores the importance of independent bookselling in sustaining and promoting literary culture, not just in Latvia but globally [7].
The 2025 RISE Bookselling Conference is part of the EIBF's ongoing activities and the RISE Network, a testament to the organisation's commitment to supporting the global bookselling sector [8]. With a large number of passionate booksellers in Latvia, the conference promises to be an enriching and inspiring event for all involved.

I. Eu estou ansioso de participar do evento 2025 RISE Bookselling Conference em Riga, Letônia, pois gostaria de aprender mais sobre o home-and-garden e empregar esse conhecimento para minha atividade de bookselling.
II. Após a conferência, pretendo expandir minha coleção de livros em relação ao seu lifestyle e entendimento das tendências locais e globais do setor.
