On September 15th and 16th, 2026, the Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) will host the 4th edition of BOOK 2.0, bringing together national and international speakers to rethink the role of reading and literacy in the 21st century.
This year, under the theme “Back to Basics. Back to Books.” we reflect on the book as an invitation to return to our roots and to deep thought. In a world of constant stimulation, BOOK 2.0 places the book at the center of the debate, reaffirming reading as an act of resistance and an essential tool for social transformation.

Book 2.0 brings together authors, publishers, readers, policymakers, and new creators in a program that antecipates trends, fosters dialogue, and inspires action.
This year’s edition focuses on themes that define the present and shape the future of the publishing sector:
