Beijing International Book Fair
BIBF is the largest publishing event in Asia and the second largest in the world by exhibitor count, drawing more than 2,600 exhibitors from over 100 countries to the China National Convention Center. It is the single most consequential rights market east of Frankfurt, where Chinese publishers acquire translation rights, foreign houses scout for licensable IP, and English-language content moves into the world's largest emerging reading market. The fair runs alongside a heavy programme of bilateral publishing forums and cross-border digital licensing summits.
