An attempt to cater to the literary community that exists all around the world, the annual Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is regarded as the most popular book fair in the Middle East.
Abu Dhabi, the capital and largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates, has experienced outstanding economic development. This growth has had a positive influence on all aspects of the economy, including literacy and education.
The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is an exhibition that reestablishes people's interest in the world of books. It also reiterates the importance of books as tools for knowledge and progression.
One of the most popular events and exhibitions in Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair draws a huge number of publishers, book sellers and readers from across the globe. This fair aims at creating a vibrant commercial marketplace for the world's leading publishing houses.
Along with promoting books, the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair acts as a catalyst for the development of publishing, a field that is not given due recognition in many Arab nations.
The programme of Abu Dhabi International Book Fair features professional seminars and events for publishers, agents, writers, librarians and the general public. Daily sessions featuring expert panel discussions are held on vital topics related to production, marketing, distribution, copyrighting, etc.
Along with being a fair of books, the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is also an important place where intellectuals meet and exchange ideas. It is a great place to learn about the culture of Abu Dhabi and the region as a whole.
Organized by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC), the 17th Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is slated to be held between 31st March and 7th April 2007, at ADNEC's exhibition grounds.
