The organizer, Targi w Krakowie Sp. z o.o., is committed to creating an inspiring space for exchange, discussion, and business opportunities in the field of literature and publication.

Targi Książki is more than a fair – it's a cultural event that revolves around the key themes of literature, publications, and media. The exhibitors, which include Polish and foreign publishers, bookstores, cultural institutions, digital media retailers, printers, and paper manufacturers, present a wide range of products and services here, from books and literature to modern digital publication solutions.

The fair’s close connection to the city of Krakow and to Poland is emphasized through its focus on national and local literature, culture, and history, opening a window through which the world can discover the riches of Polish literature and culture. It also serves as a platform for Polish authors and publishers to present themselves internationally.

Exhibitors and visitors primarily come from the fields of literature, publishing, and media, but the fair also attracts a wide audience of literature enthusiasts and professionals from related industries, such as education and librarianship.

The Expo Krakow exhibition center, where the event takes place, is a modern and easily accessible location and proves to be a perfect backdrop for an event of this size and significance. The venue is not only functional but also offers a marvelous opportunity to combine the fair visit with exploring Krakow, a UNESCO World Heritage city, due to its proximity to the historic city.
