On 10 October 2026, Tashkent will host the 8th Tashkent Advertising Festival — TAF!26 — bringing together marketers, creatives, business leaders and advertising professionals.
One of the largest international events in Uzbekistan's marketing, creative and advertising industry, this year's edition will feature:
- 70+ speakers
- 6 conference halls
- 7 thematic tracks
- An international competition presenting the best creative work of 2025–2026
Branding & Design, Creative & Craft, Digital Communications, SMM & Influence, PR & Reputation and Local Opportunities — TAF!26 covers the full range of what Uzbekistan's marketing and creative industry does.
Why it belongs on a cross-border calendar
For companies and professionals integrating into the Uzbek market, an event like this offers more than its programme.
Market entry conversations tend to focus on registration, tax and logistics. How a brand actually communicates in a new market — what tone works, which channels matter, who the credible agencies and creative partners are — is usually discovered later and more expensively.
A single day with the industry's practitioners is an efficient way to answer those questions before they become budget problems.
For Georgian companies operating or planning to operate in Uzbekistan, it is also one of the more accessible ways to meet the people who will eventually build their local brand presence.
