The countdown is on. From 23rd to 27th September 2026, the Kenya Publishers Association hosts the 27th Nairobi International Book Fair at the Sarit Expo Centre, Westlands, Nairobi — and we would love to see you there.
This year’s theme, Read. Think. Lead., speaks to something we believe deeply at East African Educational Publishers: a reading child becomes a thinking young adult, and a thinking young adult becomes a leader. Books are where that journey begins.
What to expect
The Fair runs daily from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and entry is free. Across the five days you can look forward to:
- Book exhibitions from publishers across the region and beyond
- Book launches
- Children’s activities
- The Publishers Matchmaking Forum
- Buying and selling of rights
- And plenty more
Whether you are a teacher hunting for classroom titles, a parent looking for something to spark your child’s imagination, a writer hoping to meet a publisher, or simply someone who loves the smell of a new book, there is something here for you. Come and explore books, digital resources and learning technologies, and meet publishers, authors, printers, NGOs, government agencies and innovators — all under one roof.
Bring the family. Bring your colleagues. Bring an empty bag; you will need it.
