From September 19 to 20, 2019 the FACP Conference gathers impresarios, presenters, festival promoters, and content providers from the Asian region. This conference, with this year's theme of Generation Next: The Future of the Performing Arts, provides a platform for the members of FACP to exchange ideas and discuss issues concerning the entertainment and arts industries in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also a way to forge greater cooperation among members. The CCP last hosted the FACP Conference back in November 2011.

There will also be seminars featuring speakers Atty. BJ Pallattao, John Paul Lanot, and Alessa Libongco-Lanot discussing topics such as Managing Business for Arts Sector, Basic Branding Principles, and Safeguarding Intellectual Property Rights in Performing Arts.

On September 20 to 22, 2019, the AAPPAC Conference, with this year's theme Waves & Crosscurrents in the Performing Arts, gathers management executives and presenters from leading performing arts venues in the Asia Pacific region to chart out strategies fostering greater public appreciation and demand for the performing arts.Resource speakers and panelists, who are experts in their fields, will discuss topics such as cultural diplomacy, arts philanthropy, smart technology, partnerships between the academe and the performing arts centers, the rise of small, independent performing arts spaces and the rise of arts and culture districts and how it enlivens city economies during the three-day conference.


The MIPAS is made possible through the partnerships with the Department of Trade and Industry – Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (DTI-CITEM), Department of Tourism (DOT), Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and CNN Philippines.
