The RISE Bookselling Conference, as told by those who took part in it

A special conference deserves a special illustration
As every year, the attendees of the RISE conference received a tote bag and a notepad with a special illustration printed on them, to commemorate this experience. This year in Riga, we partnered with illustrator, artist for animation films, and multimedia artist Reinis Pētersons.
Over the years, he has illustrated more than 42 books and many board games, many of which have received international recognition and prestigious awards. Since 2009, Reinis has broadened his creative portfolio to include work as an artist for animation films, designing the visual identity of characters and environments.
