New September dates for Beijing Book Fair

The Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) will go ahead on 14­–18 September after it was postponed from August dates due to Covid-19 measures.

While in-person attendance is limited to Chinese and China-based publishers, the program is being run as a hybrid event. International publishers can book a stand manned by an assistant on the ground, who will present titles to interested Chinese publishers and forward their contacts after the fair.

BIBF has also extended its online platform, launched as part of last year’s digital-only fair, on which publishers can participate in the fair’s program. The platform will include ceremonies, forums and rights meetings.
