Sharjah will welcome the world’s literary leaders as it hosts the International Booksellers Conference, where 575 of the world’s best professionals from 92 nations will come together. The conference will create collaboration opportunities between publishers, distributors, and booksellers from around the world.
The conference will include a lineup of workshops, networking opportunities, and dialogue regarding the changing patterns of book distribution, retailing, and reading. Issues ranging from digitalisation, sustainability within publishing, to international trends in reading will come under the spotlight.
Sharjah continues to build its reputation as a cultural focal point in the region, and this event is the latest chapter in the emirate’s hallowed tradition of promoting literacy and the book culture.
Organizers expect the conference to be a catalyst for fresh collaborations and innovative solutions in the global publishing landscape.
