Before the show opened to the public, professional days were held this week, featuring workshops, debates, and talks regarding the publishing sector.

The event brought together publishers, booksellers, distributors, agents, graphic designers, translators, illustrators, and librarians for commercial exchanges, business meetings, and training sessions.

According to a Foundation press release, the fair aims to create "a book city" with over 45,000 square meters of exhibition space.

The event is notable for its diverse program, which includes over 1,500 cultural projects such as keynote speeches, launches, seminars, lectures, book signings, a poetry festival, a storytellers' meeting, and a day of microfiction, among others, according to the text.
