The Philippines’ premier digital marketing conference returns with its boldest theme yet—a call for the entire industry to build together.
The Digital Marketing Association of the Philippines (DMAP) officially announced DigiCon 2026, themed “Interoperability: Welcome to the Age of Collaboration.” Celebrating its 11th year, the event will gather innovators, marketers, and tech leaders at the Grand Ballroom of the Manila Marriott Hotel on October 15–16. This year, it promises its most inclusive lineup ever.
Interoperability as a Competitive Advantage
“We are entering a new era, an age where progress is powered by coming together,” said Raymund Sison, Co-Chair of DigiCon 2026. “The future will not be built in silos. It will not belong to those who work alone. It will be shaped by connections, synergies, and ecosystems of collaboration where ideas, technologies, and communities converge to create impact far greater than the sum of their parts.”
Interoperability isn’t a technical concept but a mandate. In a landscape fragmented by platforms, disciplines, and silos, DigiCon 2026 shows that progress only happens between people and technology, creators and AI, government and industry, local and global, work together. The theme is both a provocation and an invitation as no brand, platform, or industry succeeds alone.
“DigiCon has always been about what’s next,” said Shayne Madamba, Co-Chair of DigiCon 2026. “In 2026, what’s next is working together across disciplines, across industries, and across technology.”

Meanwhile, DMAP is also launching DigiConX, mini pop-up events leading to DigiCon 2026. These are led by Brian Yap (RGC) and Nikki Sunga (BBDO). Additionally, Kate Bitara serves as Co-Chair Support, and Gina Torre is Project Manager.
“I’m excited about DigiCon 2026 because our future isn’t just about better technology. It’s about better connections,” said Miko David, DMAP President. “When AI, platforms, agencies, brands, and creators work together, innovation scales. DMAP exists to connect the ecosystem and turn collaboration into meaningful progress.”
