The Digital Marketing Association of the Philippines<\/strong> (DMAP) officially kicked off the next phase of DigiCon 2026<\/strong> with the announcement of its first global keynote speakers, conference tracks, and new partnership opportunities during the DigiCon 2026 Press Conference held on Monday, August 10.<\/p>\n

Following the earlier reveal of this year\u2019s theme, \u201cInteroperability: Welcome to the Age of Collaboration,\u201d<\/strong> the media conference offered a first look at how the country\u2019s premier digital marketing conference will bring that vision to life through its speaker lineup, conference programming, and industry initiatives leading up to the event.<\/p>\n

Opening the program, DMAP Vice President for Internal Affairs and Board Trustee Kit Ramos Disini welcomed members of the media and industry partners, emphasizing DigiCon\u2019s role in bringing together the marketing ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe pace of change in marketing has never been faster, and no one organization has all the answers. DigiCon exists to create the space where brands, agencies, platforms, creators, and innovators can learn from one another and build the future together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DigiCon 2026 Co-Chair Raymund Sison shared the conference\u2019s vision and what attendees can expect from this year\u2019s edition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is only the beginning of what we\u2019ll be unveiling over the coming months. From additional speakers and DigiConX activations to new industry partnerships, we\u2019re building a conference that reflects the collaborative future we\u2019re asking the industry to embrace,\u201d said Sison.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For this year\u2019s edition, DigiCon will include exciting new features to maximize participation and engagement. Breaking from traditional conference boundaries, delegates can look forward to connecting with peers, local creators, and potential partners through networking sessions on the community stage. Delegates can also gain insights from industry leaders during keynote sessions,\u00a0 build practical skills in hands-on workshops, and explore immersive brand activations.<\/p>\n

Among the day\u2019s major announcements was the confirmation of the first two international keynote speakers for DigiCon 2026.<\/p>\n

Professor Dr. Christian Busch, bestselling author of Connect the Dots and professor at the University of Southern California and the London School of Economics, shared a video message previewing his keynote on how organizations can unlock innovation by building meaningful connections across industries and embracing serendipity as a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

Joining him is Judy John, Global Chief Creative Officer of Edelman and one of the world\u2019s most awarded creative leaders. In her video message, John spoke about the importance of cross-disciplinary thinking as brands navigate increasingly interconnected audiences, platforms, and technologies.<\/p>\n

The press conference also introduced the tracks for DigiCon 2026. In a panel discussion moderated by Director for Publicity Mori Rodriguez, Track Leads Gino Nacianceno (Innovation), Jordan Santos (Impact), and Denise Haak (Immersive), together with DigiConX Co-Director Nikki Sunga, shared the conversations shaping this year\u2019s program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The discussion explored how organizations can move beyond AI hype to real business value, create immersive experiences through cross-sector partnerships, build authentic purpose-driven campaigns, and transform audiences from passive consumers into active collaborators.<\/p>\n

This year, DMAP is also pioneering DigiConX, a nationwide expansion of the conference experience through a series of satellite pop-ups across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Ahead of the main conference, DigiConX brings the industry\u2019s biggest conversations closer to communities by partnering with organizations, schools, and brands to host talks, panels, and learning sessions across the country. More than just a roadshow, DigiConX extends the reach and impact of DigiCon, empowering local communities to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of digital marketing.<\/p>\n
