5 – 10 September 2012 25th Moscow International Book Fair (MIBF)

The MIBF is Russia’s biggest international book fair. It is held in the modern Pavilion 75 at the All-Russian Exhibition Centre in Moscow. In 2011, it was attended by 1,572 companies from 57 countries, which presented more than 200,000 titles on an exhibition area of 36,000 sqm. 2012 will see at least as many participants as last year. France is Guest of Honour and Armenia the central exponent of this year’s Fair. Along with numerous publishers, booksellers and cultural institutions, they will provide an extremely rich and interesting programme, not just for trade visitors but also the broader general public. The 2nd International Book Forum (7 – 8 September) will take place as part of the 2012 Book Fair. It is being organised by the ITE Group. The main objective of the Book Forum is to provide a discussion platform for book industry professionals from around the world.
