Showcasing Asia to the World

Following its 2019 launch, which generated over two hundred trade inquiries and united local talent with over a hundred international delegates, the Manila International Performing Arts Market (MIPAM) makes its highly anticipated return.

Guided by the theme "Showcasing Asia to the World," this premier arts market is engineered to bridge the gap between local creative mastery and global commercial demand.

Bridging Local Mastery & Global Demand

Going back with a bang

MIPAM returns in 2026 with a renewed vision and a stronger international focus. This year's edition is elevated through a partnership with CREATEPhilippines, the country's government-led platform for the creative industries, paving the way for expanded opportunities for Filipino performing artists to connect with the global market.

This business-driven marketplace features two venues, a broader international buyer campaign, curated exhibitions, live performances, B2B business matching, networking events, creative sessions, and a Hosted Delegate Program designed to generate touring opportunities, co-productions, and long-term international collaborations.

What is in store across our twin venues:

Onsite Exhibits & Live Showcases

Immersive theater, music, and dance performances curated for international delegates.

B2B Matching Opportunities

Targeted sessions connecting artists directly with global producers, festival directors, and impresarios.

Creative Sessions & Jam Activities

Expert-led mentorship, hackathons, and collaborative spaces designed for raw innovation.

The Hosted Delegate Program

A premium, fully screened CREATEPhilippines x CCP initiative providing viable creatives with strategic hospitality, local transfers, and dedicated market agent assistance.
