Les Rencontres nationales de la librairie (RNL) 2022
The sixth edition of the Syndicat de la librairie française’s (SLF) booksellers’ conference, Rencontres nationales de la librairie (RNL), will take place in Angers, France, from 3 to 4 July 2022.
The aim of the RNL is to allow booksellers to meet in an informal setting and exchange views with other professionals in the book trade, authors, publishers, librarians, distributors, and representatives of the public sector. This year, RNL also spotlights booksellers and the book sector in Angers and the Region of Pays de la Loire.
During the two-day programme, the 2022 RNL edition will include research presentations, plenary sessions on the environment and the future of the bookselling profession, and dozens of specialised workshops.
Some of the many topics that will be covered during this year’s edition of the RNL:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the book trade and bookshops
Young readers
Improving the distribution system
Importance of the backlist management
Bookshops on social media and online
A look at today’s “new booksellers”: who are they?
Increasing concentration of publishing houses
When and where will the event take place?
