Ignite 2017. Handout

A conference that seeks to help innovators and companies maximize their potential will be held in July. 

Premier innovation conference Ignite 2018, to take place on July 16-17, 2018 at Makati Shangri-La, Manila, has a series of talks by international and local business leaders.

Organized by TechShake and dentsu X, the two-day conference will feature more than 40 industry experts from around the world led by keynote speakers Paul Papadimitriou, founder of Intelligencr; Barbara Guerpillon, Asia head of Unilever Foundry; Ramses Gallego, Symantec stategist and IE Business School professor; and Cindy Wang, chief marketing officer of Uxin Group.

According to the event’s website, organizers hope that the two-day conference will allow participants to connect and be better equipped to take advantage of global opportunities for the Philippine startup industry, as well as allow young Filipinos to explore technology and entrepreneurship. 

Through the “Business Matching” activity, the conference also hopes to match startups, corporations, and investors for more effective collaboration.

A Day One Conference Pass is available at a discounted price of $60 (P3,120). Information on ticket purchase, as well as special rates and packages available for corporations, startups, and exhibitors are available on the Ignite 2018 website (ignite.ph/tickets).
