About the PHOTO 2024 Photobook Weekend

The Photobook Weekend celebrates the role of photobooks in contemporary photographic practice. The two-day program will cater to those passionate about photobooks with a photobook market, exclusive displays of photobook awards, hands on workshops, panel discussions, and book launches. Photobook fans will have the opportunity to browse and purchase some of the newest and most respected names in contemporary photobook publishing. At PHOTO 2024 we are excited to be bringing our Photobook Weekend to Abbotsford Convent for the first time.
