The IBBY is a non-profit organization which represents an international network of people from all over the world who are committed to bringing books and children together.

The congress, which runs until September 1, brings together dozens of speakers from around the world to share research and perspectives on children’s and young adult literature. Iranian representatives are among the participants, with six speakers scheduled to present three papers during the event.
