— Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF)
ARPress has been actively participating in some of the world’s most prominent international book fairs, from the Bologna Children’s Book Fair and the London Book Fair to literary events in Frankfurt, Miami, Sharjah, Los Angeles, and beyond. We are excited to continue expanding our global presence through participation in international literary gatherings that bring together authors, publishers, educators, booksellers, and readers from around the world.
Our latest milestone is participation in the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), one of the most influential publishing events in the global book industry. This continued presence creates valuable opportunities to introduce outstanding authors and their works to new audiences while fostering meaningful international partnerships within the publishing community.
The 32nd Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held from June 17 to 21, 2026, at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing, China, served as a dynamic platform for literary exchange, publishing innovation, and cross-cultural collaboration. As one of the largest book fairs in the world and the leading publishing event in Asia, BIBF continues to play a crucial role in connecting the international publishing community through copyright trading, translation initiatives, educational forums, and cultural programs.
This year’s event welcomed publishers, literary agents, authors, translators, booksellers, librarians, and publishing professionals from across the globe. The fair showcased hundreds of thousands of titles covering a wide range of genres and highlighted the growing influence of digital publishing, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, and international rights cooperation in shaping the future of the publishing industry.
Looking ahead, BIBF continues to demonstrate how literature serves as a bridge between cultures, languages, and perspectives. As publishing evolves in response to technological advancements and changing reader expectations, international book fairs remain essential venues for collaboration, innovation, and the global exchange of ideas.
