The Riyadh International Book Fair (RIBF) is held annually in Riyadh and represents a platform for companies, institutions, and individuals working and interested in the literature, publishing, and translation sectors to present their books and services. In addition to the book fair’s primary role in promoting and developing the passion for reading in the community, it raises awareness of knowledge, culture, literature, and art, by motivating individuals to visit the book fair to view and acquire cultural, literary, and educational works and to attend conferences, workshops, seminars, cultural, literary, and artistic lectures, and fair-related initiatives.
After the establishment of the Literature, Publishing & Translation Commission within the cultural commissions of the Ministry of Culture, it assumed the responsibility of organizing and supervising the fair, as it works to enhance the gains and position of RIBF on the map of regional and international book fairs, and to add the necessary development to keep pace with the Kingdom Vision 2030 that enhances and stimulates the culture industry as a component of quality of life.
