Positioning the Philippines:
What are Buyers of Software Services looking for in the Philippines?
A growing number of foreign buyers of software services are now putting the Philippines at the top of their lists.This is a dramatic turnaround from just 10 years ago when everyone was rushing into India to fulfill their offshoring needs.This blockbuster panel explores the competitive advantages we should be promoting, and identifies the deficiencies we need to address.
The State of the Filipino Software Talent:
What are Today's Issues in recruiting and retaining local Software engineers?
Have you tried to hire a senior software engineer lately? Have you lost a junior software engineer to a company who doubled their salary?

PRODUCTS TRACK
From Start-up to Exit: Software Founders Who "Sold Out"
What are the real world M&A experiences of software founders?
It's the typical startup founder's dream. Develop a great software product idea, grow a company for a few years (or months), then get acquired by Google or Facebook for millions (or billions) of dollars. We've read the stories and we've watched the movies, but what is the reality? The individuals on this panel have lived the dream (or nightmare) of going from startup to buy-out, and in some cases back to startup. Learn from their stories!
The State of the Filipino Software Startup
Can the next big thing come from the Philippines?
A few short years ago, observers would automatically relate the term "software startup community" to Silicon Valley, California, but not MANILA or CEBU. What a difference a few years can make! This panel brings together the movers and shakers who are working to build the local software startup community into a sustainable and scalable ecosystem that will produce a new wave of software businesses to power the Philippine economy.
