According to Patch Dulay, founder and CEO of the Spark Project, this conference was organized to challenge Filipino talent to re-imagine the way they create.

“Having a highly-curated roster of speakers and mentors is essential. We really want to inspire and teach emerging entrepreneurs by putting them in the same room as people who have done it before and succeeded. So, we’re very intentional in our selection of stories because entrepreneurship, creativity, and social change can be challenging. But that’s how you make the world better. Our goal is to encourage those who are ready to level up,” Dulay said.
