Professional book fairs play a vital role in publishing, their most important role is to promote cultural exchange as they allow publishers, agents, distributors and retailers to meet and do business.
A book fair is also an exhibition, publishing companies as well as firms from the wider publishing industry (eg distributors, technology companies) use fairs as a showcase for their brand and as a shop window for their products and services.
Book fairs serve an important educational purpose for book trade professionals, making them aware of key trends through seminars, panel discussions and presentations, Book fairs also offer a range of events designed to facilitate networking.
In an interview, Professor Kevin Richards stated that the Tehran Book Fair provides an opportunity to showcase the diverse range of expression within the contemporary culture of Iran, even as such an event requires visibility in the media.
