International Hall: Discover the Opportunities
As part of the fair, the International Hall — open once again this year to both local and international visitors — brings together publishers, agencies, and cultural institutions from various countries, serving as a global meeting point for the industry. Open during the first four days of the fair, from December 13 to 16, the hall offers publishers the opportunity to promote their publishing markets, establish partnerships, and conduct rights negotiations. Last year, the hall hosted 28 international events, and this year it is preparing to welcome visitors with a wide range of new international programs.
The Illustrator Wall Returns to the Istanbul Book Fair This Year!
Bringing together thousands of book lovers, dozens of publishers, authors, poets, and academics every year, the fair will once again showcase the many faces of literature. One of the fair’s most popular features in recent years, the “Illustrator Wall,” will once again open a window into the world of illustration. This special area offers an inspiring space for students interested in visual arts, emerging artists, illustration enthusiasts, and publishers. Throughout the fair, illustrators will present their work to the interest of visitors and participants. Participation details will be announced soon on the fair’s website and social media channels.
