Mack takes part in various art and book fairs, showcasing new titles, participating in talks, and organising artist book signings. These annual events include The London Book Fair in March; AIPAD in NYC in April; LA Art Book Fair in April; PhotoLondon in May; Rencontres d'Arles, in July; the NY Art Book Fair in September; Frankfurt Book Fair in October; Paris Photo in November.
In 2011, Michael Mack was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts by the University of Plymouth for his contribution to art publishing.
In 2012, Mack established the First Book Award,[9] in collaboration with the National Media Museum, Bradford and the Wilson Centre for Photography, London. This annual photography publishing award was open to photographers who had not previously had a book published by a third party publishing house. The call for submissions emphasises a predilection for projects conceived in book form: works that find a voice through the book. Submission was via an array of nominators who were asked to recommend projects. The Award ran until 2021.
