Manila FAME 2026

Manila · Oct 15–17, 2026 · MNL

Business & IndustryDates confirmedWorld Trade Center Metro Manila

Manila FAME 2026 runs Thursday–Saturday, October 15–17, at World Trade Center Metro Manila, organized by CITEM. The FAME+ page lists 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Manila time. This is a design and craft export show, not a weekend mall fair. Badge type and buyer matching decide whether the trip pays off. SSX sustainability programming is also flagged on CITEM pages for the same October dates—useful if green sourcing is part of your brief, but still confirm which halls carry it.

Who should cross for this

International trade buyers, designers, retailers, importers, and Pacific travelers sourcing Philippine home, fashion, and lifestyle lines.

Manila FAME is the clearest Metro Manila week for North American and Asia-Pacific buyers who need Philippine design and craft export collections in one Pasay hall cluster.

Suggested trip length: 3–4 nights for two full show days plus a meeting buffer

Pick buyer or visitor before you fly

Trade buyers enter free once approved. Paying guests buy a one-day visitor pass at the posted PHP rates. If you need complimentary hotel, airport transfers, or matching support, contact the buyer team early rather than improvising at the door. Bring business cards; photo rules require exhibitor permission. One-day visitor passes do not automatically renew across Friday and Saturday; budget a fresh pass if you need multiple public days.

Walk the show by category, not by aisle panic

Floor themes span home, furniture, fashion, artisans, and parts/fittings, with talks and CREATELab consults on the program. Carry a shortlist of materials and price points so Hall walks stay purposeful across three dense days.

Base the trip in Pasay or Makati

WTC sits on the Macapagal corridor. A nearby hotel protects late appointments better than crossing Metro Manila twice a day. Recheck fameplus.com for catalog previews and Sustainability Solutions Exchange notes before you land.
