Macao 2026, a specialized world stamp exhibition under the patronage of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP), will take place June 26-July 1, 2026.
Canadian exhibitors are urged to act quickly, as entries are due by Nov. 18.
The show, which takes place at the Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo Hall, will feature about 1,500 competitive frames and roughly 50 dealer booths, with free admission for visitors. Exhibit classes are expected to include Traditional, Postal History, Thematic, Modern Philately and others, in line with recent international programs.
Special attractions will include a “treasure gallery” showcasing rarities and printing craftsmanship, alongside the Macao Stamp Corner of Arts featuring design drafts and historical material that highlight the city’s culture. Organizers also plan celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of FIP during the event.
For Canadians, the key date is Nov. 18 for submitting entry forms, with acceptance notices expected by Jan. 20, and fees and title pages due by March 31, 2026. The Canadian commissioner is Ed Kroft, who can provide guidance on classes, eligibility and paperwork at ed.kroft1955@outlook.com.
Macao 2026 is co-organized by Macao Post and Telecommunications and the Macau Philatelic Association, with the auspices of the Federation of Inter-Asian Philately. With a large international field and strong public programming, Canadian exhibitors are encouraged to finalize entries well ahead of the November deadline to secure participation.
