So excited for this! It will be my first time at a CITEM trade show, and what a first time it will be– I’m coming in as an actual buyer and not just an usi or usisera.
The fair will run for four days starting this Sunday, October 16, 2011. More info and online registration at the Manila FAME International website.
UPDATE: Just called the Manila FAME Sectretariat (833-1258) and was advised that pre-registration to the trade fair is now closed. Admission is at P500/day.
