One of the country’s biggest digital conferences is back this year. The Internet & Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines (IMMAP) is holding their flagship event, DigiCon, from October 10 to 14, 2022.

Under the theme DigiCon Valley, the line up of speakers will feature experts from all over the world who will discuss relating to marketing, advertising, and digital industries. There will also be chances for attendees to network in person during the after-hours programs.

Celebrating innovation, problem-solving, and the entrepreneurial spirit, DigiCon Valley looks ahead to what will be a tipping point in the country’s start-up scene: an increase in investments for Philippine firms in the next three years, much higher compared to what industries received over the past five years combined.

At a launch event held at The Astbury in Poblacion on August 31, the all-female IMMAP DigiCon Committee presented the program and speakers for the event.
