Beyond book promotion, IBF serves as an educational and cultural hub for book enthusiasts. The fair annually attracts around 300,000 visitors, primarily students, university scholars, and families. For this year, organizers are targeting 350,000 visitors, through partnerships with Islamic schools or pesantren across Indonesia and schools in the Greater Jakarta area.
“To enrich the experience, IBF 2025 will feature two main stages hosting daily programs including book launches, author meet-and-greets, and discussions with prominent figures in the publishing industry,” Husni added.
