2025 AIBF Festival

The most prominent way authors may take part in our programs is through our Festival, scheduled for Saturday, March 1, 2025. 

​

During the Festival, Authors have opportunities to engage with over 1300 Readers in an up-close and personal way to showcase and sell their books. Readers will be able to engage with more than 100 exhibiting authors in a personal way about their work and what inspires them.  There are numerous Author breakout presentations, including several led by New York Times best-selling authors, book signing session, food trucks, and a variety of activities designed to keep both Authors and Readers engaged, educated, and entertained through activities throughout the day.  ​

​​​​

This year the Festival will also include many more Author Break-Out Sessions, young-adult Author-driven Tween/Teen Scene Sessions, as well as the usual activities, incentives, prizes and other attractions. The Kids Zone is available to keep the young ones engaged. Ultimately, you’ll find unlimited opportunities to enrich your life with books in a fun loving, festive atmosphere. ​
