With the successful hosting of Globe DevCon 2025, the third annual Globe Developers Conference, which took place last October 9 at The Globe Tower in Bonifacio Global City, Globe achieved yet another significant milestone in its pursuit of innovation and talent development. Over 1,000 developers, engineers, and students attended the full-day event, which had the theme “Harnessing the Power to Create,” to learn more about how AI-driven technology can address practical issues and significantly improve people’s lives.
Globe DevCon 2025 was more than just a tech conference; it was a platform for innovation with a purpose. The occasion gave the upcoming generation of student developers and artists the confidence to dream big, create relevant projects, and network with business executives who are influencing the direction of digital advancement.
“At Globe, we believe the future is built by the bold ideas of today’s youth. Globe DevCon 2025 is more than an event, it’s a launchpad for student innovators to explore, connect, and create with purpose,” says Anne Calma, Head of Marketing Youth Cultures at Globe. “By giving them access to real-world tech and industry mentors, we’re not just inspiring them, we’re investing in the future they’re ready to shape.”
The event saw strong youth participation, with 194 student attendees from 27 universities nationwide, including University of the Philippines – Manila, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, National University, University of Batangas, STI Lucena, and Our Lady of Fatima University-Valenzuela. These numbers reflect Globe’s expanding reach among young innovators and its leadership in nurturing digital changemakers across the country.
“I realized that innovation isn’t just about coding, it’s about creating change that matters. [Harnessing the Power to Create] means believing that creativity and innovation can coincide to shape a better future,” said John Michael G, Papa, a senior student at Pateros Technological College. “[The Globe DevCon 2025] sparked a fire in me to dream bigger and create impactful, yet meaningful innovation.”
To further learning and engagement, students earned leaderboard points by engaging in student challenges: attending breakout sessions, sharing insights on social media, and redeeming and donating Globe rewards points on the GlobeOne App. Exhibits like MongoDB database solutions, the AWS AI stylist for color analysis, and the Huawei Robodog captured imaginations and showcased the real-world potential of emerging technologies.
DevCon 2025 featured solution showcases, fireside chats, and tech demos that highlight innovations developed within Globe. This year’s DevCon is also made possible through the support of AWS, Couchbase, Huawei, MongoDB, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amdocs, Oracle, Searce, Cisco, and F5. Their collaboration underscores the shared commitment to empowering developers and advancing the country’s digital innovation ecosystem.
In keeping with Globe’s #GoForIt mission to follow your passions and goals, DevCon 2025 will continue to encourage professional and student collaboration and connection, enabling students to put their aspirations into action. Globe is dedicated to offering chances for development, innovation, and impact—inspiring the next generation to #GoForwardTogether—as technology becomes an integral part of every student’s journey.
