Indonesia International Book Fair
The Indonesia International Book Fair (IIBF) is an annual book fair organized by the Indonesian Publishers Association (Ikapi). IIBF was first held in 1980 and in 2025 it will be the 45th IIBF. Since 2014, IIBF – initially named Indonesia Book Fair – has transformed into an international book fair. IIBF is designed as a center for national and international promotional activities, transactions, discussions and interactions for publishers, literary agencies, writers, and librarians; literacy, arts, culture, and education activists; as well as other creative industry players.
Indonesia Rights Fair
Indonesia Rights Fair (IRF) is the special place for international copyright transactions, networking activities, and meeting publishing friends worldwide, held annually since 2018. At IRF, publishers, authors, literary agents, or copyright owners can promote their copyrights to others such as publishers, movie makers and many others. Since 2020, IRF has a strategic partnership with VIRF as online business matchmaking platform.
IKAPI – The Indonesian Publishers Association
The publishing industry in Indonesia is older than the nation itself. The publishing industry had been already up and running before independence was declared. The first indigenous publishers (bumi putera) were small scale and had a limited range of books. Even though these earlier publishers were small, they were scattered all over the giant Indonesian archipelago from Sumatra to Ambon. Most of their early publications were either articles from prominent local figures or educational books with simple packaging.
INDONESIA RIGHTS FAIR
There are more than 2,700 publishers listed as member of Ikapi (Indonesian Publishers Association). There are approx. 100,000 new titles published yearly in which quite a number of the titles are acquired through rights purchases from around the world.
