At the Berlin International Literature Festival, 10-20 September, in the Haus der Berliner Festspiele (Schaperstraße 24, 10719 Berlin, Germany), there is Free Digital Access to Banipal's digital edition and back issues. See screenshot below of the venue.
The Festival's Literature of the World section includes Iraqi author Fadhil al-Azzawi (18 September at 6.00pm); Syrian author Samar Yazbek (17 Sept at 7.30pm)
18-20 September sees the 5th National RAWI (Radius of Arab American Writers Inc) Conference at Open Book in Minneapolis (1011 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415, USA).
