As the Philippines' largest and longest-running book fair, the MIBF will once again serve as the premier gathering for publishers, authors, educators, and readers of all ages at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City.
This year, the MIBF promises an even grander experience, spanning two full floors of the SMX Convention Center, creating an immersive world of books, creativity, and learning. The fair will operate under the banner of "Get Lit," with a special focus on the theme "Stories in Every Form." This theme celebrates the diverse and evolving landscape of storytelling, from traditional printed books to comics, graphic novels, and digital media.
Beyond the vast exhibition floor, attendees can look forward to a full schedule of special events, including book signings with beloved authors, insightful talks, product demonstrations, and exclusive launches, further enriching the MIBF experience.
"Every year, we aim to create a space that truly celebrates the entire ecosystem of reading and learning," says Irene Lloren, President of Primetrade Asia, Inc. "By utilizing two full floors of the SMX, we're not just hosting an event; we're building a city of books and ideas. This year, we're especially proud to offer a complete experience where families can discover new stories at the MIBF, and our partners in the academe can find cutting-edge solutions at School World, all under one roof."
