Embrace the Future Now at the Shanghai World Expo & Convention Center!

The book market in China is booming, and the children’s book trade is experiencing exceptional growth, particularly children’s picture books. Ninety percent of content for children’s books is currently coming from outside of China, and the Shanghai fair is currently one the top places to meet the publishing industry’s best representatives. The China Children’s Book Fair (CCBF) will host its third event at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, in cooperation with China’s official publishing authorities (General Administration of the Press and Publications, GAPP).

IBPA members can purchase single-title display space with Foreword Reviews in Children’s Books USA, a collective stand which won 2014 Best Booth Design and host to more established independent presses at the Bologn Book Fair for over thirty years. Publishers with 8+ titles are encouraged to organize a larger space with room to meet, display your backlist and forthcoming titles, be included in the official show guide.

Books can be registered for this trade show here. Be sure to contact Joanne Kenny at joanne@ibpa-online.org for the IBPA member discount code prior to registering.
