Agenda for #ThinkPH: Platform Thinking

MANILA, Philippines – “Platform Thinking” is the latest buzzword in digital business strategies. It’s about understanding how your audience feels and acts, and using that capital to propel your business forward. It can spell your enterprise’s success – if you know how to harness it.

On April 30, join us for our 2nd #ThinkPH forum, where you can enjoy a day of ideas from local and international experts and startups. This by-invitation event gathers about 250 top corporate officers, advertising and media agencies, technology specialists and non-governmental organizations to understand the potential of platform thinking.

We hope to empower startups and other organizations by affecting the way they do business and encouraging them to bring positive change to society.
