About Creator Week
One week. Three cities. The whole creator economy.
Creator Week is CICP’s flagship industry event — a nationwide celebration of the Philippine creator economy, and the biggest gathering of its kind in the country. Over five days across Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro, it brings creators, brands, agencies, platforms, government, and students into one program, built around a simple belief: the people shaping this industry should be in the same room, working on it together.The week moves from learning to doing — creator mentoring and masterclasses, sessions inside YouTube, TikTok, and Meta’s own headquarters, campus conversations with the next generation of creators, regional Creator Days in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro, and a closing night that celebrates the community’s best work at the Creator Spotlight Awards. Every session is built around one question: what does it actually take to build a sustainable career as a creator in the Philippines today?

What to expect, start to finish.

Before you arrive
After you purchase a creator-tier pass, we run a short post-purchase screening to confirm you’re an actual creator — not a brand or agency signing up under a creator ticket to access creator-only sessions. You’ll get a confirmation email once you’re cleared, usually within 48 hours. Questions in the meantime? Reach us at hello.cicp@gmail.com.2
Your pass & your sessions
Your pass guarantees the sessions listed in its tier above. Sessions marked as needing an RSVP will open reservations closer to the event — the confirmation will be emailed to pass holders.3
On the day
Bring a valid ID and your e-ticket QR code for check-in. Venues vary by session — check the program above for each day’s location before you head out.4
After the week
Session photos and select recordings are shared with attendees after the event, along with an invitation to stay connected through CICP — every pass holder carries a complimentary 1-year CICP Membership straight through.PR & News

Questions
Frequently asked.
Who counts as a “creator” for ticket eligibility?
To protect access to creator-exclusive sessions and creator rates, eligibility comes down to two things: a public creator account, and a minimum of 1,000 followers. To keep this fair for working creators, the following are not counted as creators for Creator Week, even if they also create content on the side: current employees of creator or talent agency networks, people who professionally manage creators, and brand-side staff holding an influencer marketing role. We know some people genuinely wear both hats — but for this event, that combination is treated as non-creator, so access and creator rates stay fair for the community. Unsure whether you qualify? Email us before purchasing.
What is the post-purchase screening, and how long does it take?
After purchase, we check that you meet the creator criteria above — a public account, 1,000+ followers, and not currently working inside a creator agency, talent management, or brand influencer-marketing role. This usually takes 48 hours or less, and you’ll get a confirmation email once you’re cleared.
Can I get a refund or transfer my pass?
Passes are non-refundable. A one-time transfer is allowed up to a set cutoff before the event, within the same ticket category — a Creator pass can only transfer to another eligible creator, and an Industry pass only to another industry professional. The new holder still needs to pass screening. Transfers must be requested by September 20, 2026.
Do I need to RSVP separately for each session?
Yes — your pass guarantees a seat at the sessions included in your tier, but sessions marked “RSVP required” need a separate reservation once registration opens, and the confirmation will be emailed to pass holders. Creator Week runs across three cities, so not every pass holder attends every session — RSVPs let us free up unclaimed seats for other attendees instead of leaving them empty. When a session is full, priority goes to paid passes first, then by RSVP order: whoever reserves earliest gets the seat.
Are the Cebu and CDO passes bundled with a Manila pass?
No — Cebu Creator Day and CDO Creator Day are sold separately from Manila passes, and each is a single-day pass covering that city’s Creator Day only.
Are the venues accessible? Is there parking?
Parking depends on each venue and isn’t something Creator Week controls or guarantees. Per-venue parking options will be shared a week ahead of the event.
