IAM September 2026
Welcome to the September issue of International Arts Manager. This month, our cover feature previews the Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo (HKPAX), which returns from 9 to 13 October.
That sense of Hong Kong as a meeting point continues in our feature on WestK, which drew more than 17 million visitors in 2025 and hosts the AAPPAC Annual Conference from 6 to 9 October, as the association marks its 30th anniversary. With the WestK Performing Arts Centre due to open in 2027, we visit the current venues and look at what the district is building towards.
