Ms. Pimpitcha Akarachati, Executive Director of Vithita Group, shared an insightful perspective during the Exclusive Talk stage, stating that the character industry no longer competes solely on selling merchandise, but rather on storytelling, fandom building, and integrating characters into people's daily lives with the potential to become T-Pop idols.

"Today, the character industry doesn't compete just by selling products, but by creating stories, building fandoms, and making characters a part of people's daily lives. In the past, characters were often seen merely as presenters or guest appearances, but we believe they have the potential to become T-Pop idols."
Art toy enthusiasts and character lovers can gear up for 4 unmissable highlight zones at the event:
- Character Pop Carpet: A star-studded red carpet where all 38 characters debut like A-List artists and pose for fans.
- Character Show: An exclusive stage showcasing each character's unique persona through specially designed performances.

Character Fest Thailand 2026 highlights the rapid growth of Thailand's creative economy, where characters are no longer viewed merely as temporary advertising tools but as valuable intellectual property (IP) capable of driving sustainable economic growth through long-term consumer engagement and modern fandom culture.
The event runs for only 4 days from August 14 to 17, 2026, on the 1st floor at the Beacon, Central Court, and Eden zones of CentralwOrld shopping center, with free admission throughout.
