The Publishers Association of New Zealand (PANZ) has updated its book fair calendar, listing collective stands for New Zealand publishers at three international fairs.

The nearest is the Guadalajara International Book Fair in Mexico, which runs from 28 November to 6 December 2026. Publishers interested in taking part are asked to contact Katherine Shanks at PANZ.

PANZ also plans collective stands at the Bologna Children's Book Fair from 5 to 8 April 2027 and at the Frankfurt Book Fair from 6 to 10 October 2027. Members receive reduced exhibiting rates on the stands. PANZ also ran virtual stands for both fairs in 2026.

The calendar lists other fairs without a PANZ stand: the Sharjah International Book Fair (4 to 15 November 2026), the China Shanghai International Children's Book Fair (13 to 15 November 2026), the London Book Fair (16 to 18 March 2027) and the Leipzig Book Fair (18 to 21 March 2027). No deadlines for expressions of interest are given.
