‘What’s NEXT in Marketing: Philippines 2026’ fourth edition reveals first speaker lineup and expanded two-day conference programme

Philippines – As AI evolves at breakneck speed, data privacy rules tighten, and hyper-personalised experiences become the norm, marketers in the Philippines face a new kind of pressure — innovate fast, but do it wisely. With a young, digital-first population and consumer behaviour shifting by the day, brands must tap into deeper insights to stay ahead in an increasingly complex commerce landscape.

Responding to this need, MARKETECH APAC is rolling out the fourth edition of its flagship conference in the Philippines. Now in its fourth year, What’s NEXT in Marketing: Philippines 2026 is bringing back its two-day event format on March 11–12, 2026. The expanded conference programme will offer marketing leaders and digital innovators a more immersive experience of learning, collaboration, forward-thinking discussion, and even more networking opportunities.

After three successful editions, the momentum continues with this year’s conference examining how brands can harness AI responsibly, strengthen data privacy frameworks, and elevate customer experiences through hyper-personalisation. The event also aims to unpack the nuances of the Filipino customer journey — from discovery to loyalty — while exploring how creativity, commerce, digital strategy, and influencer marketing continue to shape growth in a competitive market.

Across the two-day programme, attendees can expect a robust agenda featuring high-impact keynote presentations, energising panel discussions, and interactive roundtable sessions, along with the chance to network with leading marketers and industry leaders from renowned local and international brands.

The speaker lineup consists of:

  • Jasper Evangelista, Director of Brand Management at DITO Telecommunity Corporation
  • Jogent Emmanuel Tan, Marketing Director at Domino’s Pizza Philippines
  • Joepy Jean Libo-on, Brand Marketing Head at HONOR Philippines
  • Samantha Manuel, Group Director of Digital Marketing and Reputation Management at Megaworld Hotels and Resorts
  • Albet Buddahim, Vice President, Head of Marketing at Mega Prime Foods Inc.
  • Ace Ballesteros, AVP, Creative Content at Nestlé Philippines

and more to be announced…

What’s NEXT in Marketing: Philippines 2026 is the first leg on the What’s NEXT in Marketing conference series roadshow. Other upcoming conferences include:

  • April – What’s NEXT in Marketing: Singapore 2026
  • April – What’s NEXT in Marketing: Hong Kong 2026
  • August – What’s NEXT in Marketing: Indonesia 2026
