Lit Connect merupakan salah satu program unggulan dalam rangkaian Indonesia International Book Fair (IIBF) 2026 yang dirancang sebagai ruang temu bagi para pelaku industri kreatif dan perbukuan untuk saling terhubung, berkolaborasi, serta mengembangkan gagasan menjadi peluang yang lebih besar. Program ini hadir sebagai platform yang mendorong pengembangan kekayaan intelektual (intellectual property/IP) Indonesia agar dapat berkembang menjadi konten lintas platform dengan jangkauan yang lebih luas.
Pada Indonesia International Book Fair 2026 yang akan berlangsung pada 30 September–4 Oktober 2026 di Assembly Hall dan Lower Level, Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC), Lit Connect hadir dengan lebih banyak sesi dan menghadirkan lebih banyak pembicara dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya. Rangkaian programnya mencakup diskusi dan peluncuran buku bersama penulis, panel mengenai adaptasi buku ke film, karya digital, dan lanskap penerbitan global, sesi book-to-screen IP pitching melalui Story Market, hingga pemutaran film pendek hasil adaptasi karya buku. Dengan semakin beragamnya topik dan narasumber yang dihadirkan, Lit Connect menjadi ruang yang semakin kaya untuk membangun jejaring, bertukar gagasan, dan membuka peluang kolaborasi baru.
