CICP Presents
Creator Week 2026
Where the Philippine Creator Economy Comes Together.
Five days across three cities bringing creators, platforms, brands, and industry leaders together for a week of learning, connection, collaboration, and celebration.
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?
The lineup is coming.
Confirmed speakers and creators will be announced as the program comes together — follow CICP’s channels for updates.
Five days, three cities.

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.
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.
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.
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.
