Seoul International Book Fair 2026 (SIBF)

Fair

Launched in 1954, the Seoul International Book Fair (SIBF) has been Korea’s biggest book festival for more than 70 years. This delightful event connects those who make books with those who read them, bringing together publishers, writers, scholars, artists, editors, and readers with the purpose of sharing knowledge and information.

As Korea continues to see cultural, artistic, and academic growth, the SIBF has become established as one of the world’s leading book fairs and one of the best-known book fairs in Asia.

German Collective Stand

We are pleased to inform you that we will be represented at the Seoul International Book Fair 2026 with a German Collective Stand financially supported by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWE) and the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA).

If you're joining a collective stand supported by the BMWE for the first time, we recommend registering on this website (German Pavilion – Online Registration) a little ahead of time. The process can take 2–3 working days, as you'll first need to set up a one-time company profile (e.g. by uploading a commercial register extract) before you can sign up as an exhibitor.

Deadline for registration: February 20th https://registration.german-pavilion.com/common/tradefairs/1683

If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, please don’t hesitate to contact:
