About Chennai International Book Fair (Official)

The Chennai International Book Fair (CIBF) is organized by the Tamil Nadu Government with the vision of "Bringing the World to Tamil, Taking Tamil to the World," through global literature and cultural exchanges. CIBF features a combination of International conferences, Rights trade, and Literary events. This B2B platform offers a unique opportunity for translators, writers, and publishers to meet in one place and engage in rights exchanges. The Government of Tamil Nadu successfully organized three editions of CIBF in 2023, 2024 and 2025. In CIBF 2025, 64 countries participated and an impressive 1354 Memorandums of Understanding were signed between primarily Tamil publishers and their global counterparts on exchanging translation copyrights. To take this momentum forward, the fourth edition of the Chennai International Book Fair is organised from January 16 to 18, 2026 at Kalaivanar Arangam, Chennai.
