Now on its 38th year, the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) promises to be bigger as it now occupies two floors of exhibit space to cater to more than 150,000 visitors over its annual five-day run, which is happening this year on September 13 to 17 from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. MIBF 2017 expands its exhibit area at the MOA SMX Convention Center from 9,130 to 11,980 square meters as it dedicates the entire second floor to children's books and young adult books.
According to Irene Lloren, president of MIBF organizer Primetrade Asia Inc., book fair goers are in for a treat at the 38th Manila International Book Fair. “We’ve seen a tremendous rise in attendance in recent book fairs, so we have now expanded the exhibition space to make room for more books and book-related events to pack this year’s MIBF with even more experiences,” Lloren announced.
Aside from the largest and most varied collection of books offered by over 100 exhibitors this year, the 38th Manila International Book Fair is also highlighted by vast line-up of exciting events, including exclusive book signings, author meet-and-greets, special contests, and a host of other activities catering to book lovers.
