For those new to the Philippines, here is some basic information about travelling to the IAG EXPO.
Firstly, be sure to fill out your mandatory electronic arrival form before arrival, which can be accessed at eTravel.gov.ph.
We recommend that you arrive on Sunday 6 September 2026 – or at the very latest in the morning of Monday 7 September 2026 – in order to attend Manila After Dark (MAD) on Monday evening. MAD is a wonderful social networking event that doubles as the welcome drinks for the IAG EXPO and provides an early opportunity for guests to mingle with other attendees, including senior PAGCOR officials.
The IAG Exhibition kicks off at 10am on Tuesday 8 September 2026 with an Opening Ceremony and a VIP show floor tour. This is shortly followed by the start of the IAG Academy Summit. Both the Exhibition and the Summit are two-day events.
The IAG Academy IR Awards will be held on the evening of Tuesday 9 September 2026 from 6:30pm to 10:00pm. The Exhibition, Summit and Awards are all located within short walking distance.
IAG will shortly be arranging special hotel rates for attendees of IAG EXPO. To book, visit our accommodation page.
When departing Manila after IAG EXPO, we recommend flying out no earlier than Thursday 10 September 2026 to ensure you are part of all of the week’s festivities, unless you are participating in The Regulators Forum, in which case we recommend you fly out no earlier than Friday 11 September 2026.
The unit of currency in the Philippines is the peso (PHP), with an exchange rate of approximately US$1 = PHP 58.
