Challenge and Change in Children’s Books
in association with the National Gallery of Ireland
The CBI summer conference is the largest annual Irish event dedicated to books for children. This year, we will be taking time to understand the opportunities and the challenges facing the sector at this time of fast paced change and development.
The conference is open to everyone with an interest in children’s books: writers, illustrators, parents, teachers, booksellers, librarians, publishers and policy makers.
This year’s line-up features both established and newer voices in children’s books and it is sure to be full of stimulation, debate and celebration.
1.30-2.30 Eoin Colfer in conversation with Robert Dunbar
Following the success of previous in-conversation sessions, Robert Dunbar returns to the CBI conference, this time to interview acclaimed author Eoin Colfer. Benny and Omar, Artemis Fowl and Airman will all be up for discussion, along with Eoin’s many other fantastic creations – and there may be even be time for a few questions about his new Hitchhiker’s Guide title as well!
