The TIBF, being Iran’s premier book trade fair, has evolved into a significant book fair in West Asia after successfully hosting 34 editions. Every year, the fair attracts millions of visitors, including a large number of university students, scholars, and families.
Currently, the fair stands as the most prominent cultural event in Iran. On average, it sees participation from 2,500 domestic and 600 foreign publishers. The foreign publishers predominantly offer their materials in English or Arabic, but titles in French, German, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese are also available.
The Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) that was established by a group of Shiite elites under the supervision of the great Islamic authority of the Shiites in 1990 to identify, organize, educate and support the followers of Ahl al-Bayt.
