About
About the event
CR8TECH Con Bacolod 2027 is the first ever two-day conference and expo bringing together creators, entrepreneurs, marketers, brands, technology companies, and digital business leaders.
The event explores the future of Creativity, Digital Content, Technology & Digital Business, Media and productions through keynotes, talks, panels, workshops, networking, and an immersive expo.
Our goal: connect people, share practical knowledge, showcase emerging technologies, and create opportunities to learn, collaborate, create, build, and grow.
Purpose & movement
See what Filipino talent can build with technology.
What happens when local talent gets access to the right technology, platforms, networks, and opportunities?
We believe talent shouldn't have to leave the region to be discovered. CR8TECH aims to help create the platforms, connections, opportunities, and visibility that allow Filipino talent to build from where they are and compete anywhere.
BACOLOD → VISAYAS → PHILIPPINES → GLOBAL
Talent doesn't have to leave the region to be discovered. We simply need to build the platform that allows the world to see what is already here.
