Take the stage.
Share what you've built.
Tech Flagship is where Manila's curious minds gather. Your insights, lessons, or live demo could be the highlight of someone's month — just be prepared for sharp questions from an engaged audience!
A stage for the ideas shaping tech in Manila.
Got a story, an insight, or a build worth sharing? Tech Flagship is our signature speaker series — highlighting the people and ideas pushing AI, startups, and emerging tech forward.
We're looking for professionals, founders, builders, and curious experimenters to take the mic and inspire what comes next.
Four reasons to step up.
A talk on our stage isn't a corporate keynote. It's 30–60 minutes of you, an engaged room, and a conversation that keeps going long after.
Share your expertise
Inspire and educate a curious audience passionate about AI, tech, and what's next. The kind of room that asks real questions.
Build your brand
Position yourself or your company as a voice that matters in Manila's tech scene — with the recording and reach to back it up.
Network with innovators
Connect with fellow speakers, founders, and professionals at the speakers' dinner and beyond. Relationships, not exchanges.
Give back
Your hard-won knowledge can shortcut someone else's journey. The next builder in the audience might need exactly what you have to say.
What we're looking for.
Strong opinions, lived experience, and useful takeaways — across any of these themes (or something we haven't thought of yet).
AI & machine learning
Applications, models, data science, neural nets — the practical and the surprising.
Startups & product
Building, scaling, finding fit — the parts they don't put in pitch decks.
Emerging tech
Blockchain, IoT, AR/VR, quantum — anything at the edge of what's working.
Design & digital transformation
UX/UI, creative tech, and the stories behind serious digital rebuilds.
Career & leadership
Growth, teams, community building — what works when you actually try it.
And more
Something off-format? If it's insightful, we want to hear it. Pitch us.
