The Hong Kong Book Fair (HKBF) is an international book fair that has established itself as a significant platform for cultural exchange both in Hong Kong and on an international level. The fair is hosted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), an organization dedicated to promoting trade and the economy in Hong Kong. It takes place annually at the prestigious Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The fair covers a wide range of topics, reflecting the dynamic and continuously changing landscape of the book and publishing industry. This includes traditional literature and publishing, but also emerging areas such as multimedia products, including e-books and online publishing, as well as audio-visual learning aids and learning software. Furthermore, separate pavilions are organized for specific countries such as China and Taiwan, as well as for children's, youth, and religious literature. In addition to books and publishing products, numerous other products and services are presented. These include stationery, arts and crafts products, learning centers, hobby items, as well as sports and leisure products. The visitors of the fair come from various areas, including book retailers, publishers, authors, librarians, students, teachers, and general book lovers. The Hong Kong Book Fair is known for its diverse and extensive program, which includes author readings, panel discussions, and award ceremonies. The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is an iconic venue in the heart of Hong Kong, easily accessible by both public transportation, such as the MTR (Mass Transit Railway), buses and taxis, as well as private vehicles. It offers a breathtaking view of Victoria Harbour and is in close proximity to numerous hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers, making it an ideal location for such a significant event.
The Hong Kong Book Fair takes place annually, and therefore for the 35th time previsibly in July 2025 in Hong Kong.
