A milestone prepares to unfold in Dubai, where philately soon gathers not only stamps but also people. Sheikh Maktoum Hall stands ready—a space where light and structure invite smooth movement. Every path has been planned. The scene prepares to welcome guests with grace.
The Emirates Philatelic Association approaches this anniversary with a sense of occasion, yet the vision reaches further. A hundred years of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie deserve more than a ceremony. Here, global connection takes form—not frozen in archives, but growing through exchange. The network continues, and within two days, it will open again to new eyes, new stories.
The Emirates Philatelic Association stands behind the exhibition and links the week to two milestones. Thirty years of the Association give the occasion added weight. The exhibition carries the designation “FIP Specialized World Stamp” and stands under FIP patronage. The FIP Board granted provisional patronage in 2024 at its 177th Board meeting. Delegates then reviewed the exhibition’s framework and judging plan. The 77th Congress met in Shanghai and confirmed the status in 2024.
The Federation of Inter-Asia Philately welcomes the initiative and contributes a regional voice to the international rhythm. The program nears its opening. Dubai 2026 calls exhibitors, researchers, and new guests to explore philately at its finest.
