Launched in 2019, MIPAM made its mark as a platform connecting the performing arts community across Asia and the Philippines. Bringing together artists, producers, programmers, presenters, promoters, and cultural leaders, the inaugural edition offered opportunities to showcase work, pitch ideas, and explore collaborative partnerships.

After its successful debut, MIPAM returns in 2026, ready to reconnect the region’s performing arts ecosystem and open new pathways for artistic exchange and development. The platform offers curated pitching sessions, showcases, networking spaces, and B2B opportunities designed to foster touring, co-productions, and international collaboration.

MIPAM serves as the confluence of September’s major cultural events, including the 2026 FACP Manila Conference, Sonik Philippines 2026, and other sectoral initiatives on one dynamic platform. It continues to promote outstanding performing arts from Asia and the Philippines by connecting creative talent and industry professionals with a global audience.
