Te sixth edition of the China Shanghai International Children’s Book Fair (CCBF) will take place from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 November 2018 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Centre. For the past five years, CCBF has established itself as a vibrant hub for international rights exchange and all other professional activities surrounding contents aimed at children aged 0–16. 2018 marks the beginning of an exciting new
chapter for CCBF, as this will be the first edition organised in partnership with BolognaFiere. As organisers of Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF), BolognaFiere will contribute its more than fifty years’ professional experience and rich network to give CCBF a unique international business-driven flair with no equal on the China book fair scene. The Fair will bring together some 300 top publishers from around the world, with special emphasis on stakeholders from the Asia-Pacific region.
