The 28th and 29th International Book Fair in Krakow, scheduled for October 2026, will feature extensive programming for both industry professionals and the general public.

Industry-focused sessions organized by the Polish Book Chamber will address critical topics such as the proposed bill for the protection of the book market and the impact of artificial intelligence on the publishing industry. Specific discussions will explore AI's role in searching for academic books, its influence on the editorial and proofreading professions, and its integration into publishing workflows. The event will also introduce an Adaptation Zone to include representatives from the film industry.

For readers, publishers like Mięta will host various author signings and thematic panels. Scheduled discussions include explorations of Slavic mythology, epic fantasy, and contemporary fiction. The fair serves as a major hub for publishers, authors, translators, librarians, and booksellers.
