Home/Events
Conferences, book fairs and school visits. The catalogue travels with us — come and turn the pages.
Autumn 2026 is the heaviest season we have run — Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Istanbul and Jakarta inside eight weeks. If you want time with us at any of them, ask ahead; the stands get busy and the diary fills.
Jakarta, Indonesia · 30 September – 4 October 2026
Indonesia is where our books are read most and where the Bahasa Indonesia editions are heading. On the stand for the full run, with the school list and the digital library both running.
See the catalogue →Jakarta, Indonesia · 4–7 October 2026
The one built for schools. All six platforms running live, every educator toolkit in print to page through, and thirty-minute demo slots you can book before you fly. Attendees get 50% off year one.
Book a demo slot →Sharjah, UAE · 1–3 November 2026
The rights table before the fair opens. Three days of scheduled meetings — if you want time with us in Sharjah, book it here rather than hoping to catch us on the stand.
Request a rights meeting →Expo Centre Sharjah, UAE · 4–15 November 2026
Twelve days, and the biggest audience of the year — families, teachers and school buyers in the same hall. The complete catalogue, the reading levels explained, and someone on the stand who can actually answer a question about a child.
See the catalogue →Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · 10–19 December 2026
Ten days in the Kingdom, closing out the year. Saudi school and library buyers have been asking for the Arabic list — this is where that conversation finally happens face to face.
Arrange a meeting →London, United Kingdom · 29–30 January 2027
Our home crowd, and the one event of the year where we meet the reader rather than the buyer — parents choosing a book for a specific child, which is the conversation that shapes what we publish next.
Come and say salam →ExCeL London, United Kingdom · 16–18 March 2027
Visiting rather than exhibiting this year. Rights, print partnerships and UK distribution — if you want to meet, book ahead, because we will be walking the floor rather than sitting on a stand.
Request a meeting →Stands are a bad place to make a decision. Book a thirty-minute slot at a table instead, bring your student numbers, and we will price it on the spot.
ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, UAE · 13–18 September 2026
The full printed catalogue on the stand, and the first showing of the Arabic editions now in production. Gulf distributors, school buyers and librarians — come and handle the books rather than scroll them.
Arrange a meeting →Sharjah, UAE · 19–20 September 2026
Two days with the people who actually put books on shelves. We are here to talk terms, territories and what independent Islamic booksellers need from a publisher that keeps releasing.
Talk to us about stocking Sidr →Istanbul, Türkiye · 24–27 September 2026
Rights, translation and co-edition conversations with publishers across Türkiye, the Balkans and Central Asia. Our whole catalogue is available for translation, series by series.
Rights and co-editions →We run author and illustrator sessions, teacher training days and reading assemblies for schools running the catalogue. Ask about availability in your region — we do more of these than conferences.
