As the focus of this year’s Global Market Forum at BookExpo, the Arab publishing world will be highlighted through a series of panels and cultural event kicking off the morning of Friday, May 29th with a ribbon cutting by Lance Fensterman and His Excellency M. Amr Moussa, General Secretary of the Arab League. <\/p>\n

All of the events sound interesting—and I’m not just saying that because I’m participating in one. Here’s the schedule for all of Friday’s events:<\/p>\n

9:30am: Arab-US Editors Talk Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ the Exchange of Literature and its Impact on Their Cultures<\/p>\n

11:00am: Up Close: Childrens\u2019 Books in the Arab Market<\/p>\n

2:00pm: Logistical Considerations for Arab Book Markets: Distribution, Imports and Exports<\/p>\n

3:30pm: Copyright in the Arab World\u2014Legal Status, Concerns, and Best Practices<\/p>\n

4:30pm: Arab Match-Making Session<\/p>\n

Copyright and distribution are huge issues in the Arab World, and the opening discussion about the exchange of literature (which is the panel I’m participating on) and the closing “match-making” session should give interested U.S. publishers a chance to find out how to do business with publishers from this region. <\/p>\n

In addition to these educational\/business panels, there will be two cultural events taking place on Friday and Saturday night:<\/p>\n

On Friday at 7pm at the Goethe Institute Wyoming Building (5 E. 3rd St.): “New York Meets Baghdad” with Amal Al-Jubouri and Muhsin Al-Musawi on “Scheherazades’s Sisters”<\/p>\n

On Satuday at 7pm at the New York Public Library: “New Eyes on the Arab World\u2014Breaking Down Barriers of Fear and Prejudice” featuring Peter Theroux, Raja Alem, Tom McDonough, Muhammed Al Mur & Joe Sacco with Sulaiman Al Hattlan, moderator<\/p>\n
