DigiCon Logo

The flagship event for the Philippine marketing, advertising, and digital industries, DigiCon, organized by the Internet & Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines (IMMAP), will return this year with the new theme: DigiCon Valley, and will be held from October 10 to 14, 2022.

An increase in investments for Philippine businesses in the next three years, much higher compared to what industries received over the past five years combined, will be a tipping point in the country’s start-up scene, according to DigiCon Valley, which celebrates innovation, problem-solving, and the entrepreneurial spirit. I’m so grateful as I attended their event, I acquired so much knowledge from it and was glad to be part of this important affair.

Four program tracks will set the digital agenda for brands, and, in turn, open doors for those in the digital space to connect with Philippine businesses.

  1. Launchpad that will discuss the tools and techniques for digital excellence
  2. Hypergrowth that will level-up digital skills and showcase stories of growth from the most successful start-ups
  3. Breakthrough that will teach digital strategy and how to think like an innovator
  4. Enterprise that will chart what it means to be a digital-first organization.

To give a preview of the upcoming conference, the IMMAP DigiCon Committee was present at a press launch held at The Astbury in Poblacion, on August 31. IMMAP DigiCon Co-Chair, Denise Haak, officially unveiled the theme and program tracks to media guests and sponsors.

IMMAP DigiCon Co-Chair, Trish Elamparo-Esteban, also covered the Program Tracks and introduced this year’s Keynote Speakers, which include Huffington Post founder, Arianna Huffington; Rappler Founder and the first Filipino Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Maria Ressa; internationally acclaimed marketing expert and academic, Mark Ritson; Design Sprint inventor, Jake Knapp; and Award-winning Global CMO of Dole Sunshine Company, Rupen Desai.

Ritz Tan, who is heading one of IMMAP DigiCon’s programs, also discussed a new addition to this year’s event, After Hours. While the conference itself will be virtual, After-Hours will be night-set face-to-face networking sessions that will allow attendees to meet each other and make business connections.
