SUMMARY:Philippines Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2026
DESCRIPTION:Powered by an accelerating digital economy and a surge of hyperscale and colocation investments\, the Philippines’ data center market is on track to more than double from an estimated USD 690 million in 2025 to over USD 1.9 billion by 2030\, driven by a CAGR of 23.35%. \nThis rapid ascent is fueled by the convergence of hyperscaler entry\, aggressive submarine cable deployments\, renewable energy expansion\, and a government pushing cloud-first policies across public services. Metro Manila is emerging as a strategic hyperscale node\, while emerging zones like Cavite\, Quezon\, and Clark are now gaining attention for large-footprint builds. \nWith already announced builds from Digital Edge\, STT GDC\, ePLDT\, YCO Cloud\, and FLOW Digital Infrastructure\, the Philippines is no longer a future market. It is an active construction pipeline competing for regional relevance in AI workloads\, cloud availability zones\, and sovereign infrastructure. \nThe question is no longer if the Philippines will scale\, but who will lead\, who will power it\, and who will build fast enough to meet demand. \nJoin us at the Philippines Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2026\, where industry leaders\, infrastructure builders\, cloud platforms\, and power innovators come together to shape the next decade of growth. \nThursday\, March 26th\, 2026\n8:00 AM to 6:00 PM \nMakati Shangri-La\nAyala Avenue corner Makati Avenue\, Ayala Center\nSan Lorenzo\, Makati 1200 \n \n\nclouddatacenter.events/events/philippines-cloud-datacenter-convention-2026

SUMMARY:Smart Digital Retail
DESCRIPTION:Smart Digital Retail Philippines would like to extend the opportunity for sponsors\, attendees and partners to join the biggest event in the Philippine retail ecosystem. Hence\, we made a decision to move the event to Thursday\, April 13\, 2023. The event will take place at the same time and venue as planned. \nThe retail sector in the Philippines has been facing challenging times in the study period\, which worsened due to the sudden COVID-19 pandemic. The majority forms of physical retail\, including supermarkets and convenience stores\, hypermarkets\, specialty stores\, department stores\, and other small and medium store owners around the country\, are facing challenges owing to the lockdown and physical distancing measures. Due to the fear of contamination\, the state of Philippine retail\, and the global economy as a whole\, is entering a time of both hope and uncertainty. As countries continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic\, there’s been a concerted push to return to “normal.” \nTo mitigate the disruption caused by this crisis\, Philippine retailers need to have a window of opportunity to reinvent their customer experience to meet consumer expectations. Technology is a vital tool that will enable businesses to enhance engagement through both online and physical channels. The transition will require a shift toward a more fully integrated technology ecosystem that can evolve future value propositions. Retailers are already recognizing the importance of technology to their operations\, but fully seizing the opportunity will require a distinct retail strategy that incorporates greater partnership collaboration and investment in emerging tech. \n\nConsumer behavior change\nRetail performance in the Philippines\nDigital commerce and omnichannel\nOvercoming disruption for resilient supply chains in the future\nThe new retail experience through technology\nRetail stores: a shift to digital\, experiential shopping\nNew approach to workforce empowerment\nContactless Payments & Autonomous Shopping\nExploring the Philippine BNPL landscape\nThe rise of chatbots and voice commerce\nAI\, robotics\, and VR will soon dominate retail: welcome to retail 2.0\nMetaverse for the future of retail\n\nWith Smart Digital Retail Philippines\, we will be looking at the challenges that are impacting the Philippine retail industry to create improved consumer experiences and more efficient creation.
