2025 Tropic Bound Symposium & Welcome Party

Join us for the 2025 Tropic Bound educational symposium where speakers from around the world gather to share, discuss, challenge and exchange ideas related to the field of book arts.

The afternoon begins with the opening of a new section of exhibitors, the Addendum at Tropic Bound which will highlight the important work being created by independent publishers from around the world. These dynamic booths will feature magazine and art publishers who help widen and contextualize the conversation about books and art.
