About

SILA 2026, the 29th Algiers International Book Fair, 28 October to 7 November 2026 across the Palestine, Concorde, Gourara and Casbah pavilions of the SAFEX Palais des Expositions, organised by the fair's Commissariat. Algeria's largest public fair, gathering publishers, distributors, educational institutions and readers.

Who should attend

Publishers, distributors and booksellers from Algeria and abroad.
Schools, universities and training organisations sourcing books and educational content.
Edtech and e-learning companies meeting the education sector in one place.
The general public, students and families, who make SILA the largest fair of the year by attendance.

What to expect

29th edition over eleven days, from 28 October to 7 November 2026, across four SAFEX pavilions.
Confirmed by the official SAFEX page; the fair's own site publishes the programme and exhibitor list.
Education and publishing sectors share the floor, which is where training providers and edtech vendors are reachable.
Runs right after FORMATEC and DZ IMMO in the same venue.

Why it matters

SILA is a cultural fair, but it is also the single largest audience any Algerian venue gathers in a year, and the education sector buys there. For edtech startups and training providers on this site it is the cheapest way to meet schools and universities in volume.
