Welcome to the Broadway of Asia!
September 11–13, 2026
Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls & Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (CCP Complex)
Showcasing Asia to the World
At the center of world-class talent, Filipino performing arts are raising the game. From September 11–13, 2026, the global stage is set as the country’s premier performing arts marketplace takes over the Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls and Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (CCP Complex)—inviting the world to discover globally competent Filipino talent.
Following its 2019 launch, which united over 100 international delegates with local talent and generated more than 200 trade inquiries, the CREATEPhilippines x Manila International Performing Arts Market (CPH x MIPAM) makes its highly anticipated return.
Guided by the theme "Showcasing Asia to the World," the country’s premier arts market is engineered to bridge the gap between the Philippines’ creative mastery and global commercial demand.
Bridging Local Mastery & Global Demand
Going back with a bang
CPH x 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.
To maximize the presence of premier international industry stakeholders, CPH x MIPAM is co-located with two major industry events: the Sonik Music Conference and Showcase Festival (SONIK) happening on September 10–12, and the Federation of Asian Cultural Promotion (FACP) Conference running from September 9–12.
Together, this powerful alliance supercharges the celebration of talent into an unprecedented hub for global performing arts, music, and cultural promotion.
