With an annual attendance of close to 500 authors, publishers, distributors, institutional buyers, literary agents, multimedia producers and educators from up to 11 countries gathering in Singapore for the Festival, it is the event to create awareness about your product or organisation.
The AFCC Book Fair will be held at the Plaza of the National Library Building which has a pre-COVID annual visitorship of about 4 million people. It has allowed industry players to showcase, network and trade, and with a strategic venue such as the National Library with its high human traffic, exhibitors have found it expedient to promote their books and products to the public as well.
