Sure, Occupy was never anarchist, but it nonetheless came to be understood as anarchist. Or more specifically, anarchism is widely understood to be simply consensus decision-making, general assemblies, and spokescouncils by many observers and participants. This seems to be a factor in the increase in various communist currents over the last few years. That and the aforementioned Americanized strain of anarchism which isn't really distinct from communism anyway.

Anyway, hope the bookfair is fun and edifying. It seems weird that bookfairs have become internet events. I don't mean it's a bad thing, or that there's really any way to prevent that from happening anyway, just a weird thing about the world today.
