Manila, Philippines — February 2026 — As communication continues to shape leadership, trust, and influence in an increasingly digital and AI-driven era, SpeakersCon 2026 emerges as a defining platform for leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and emerging professionals seeking clarity, credibility, and connection.
Happening on February 11, 2026, at One Ayala, SpeakersCon 2026 is a one-day hybrid communication and leadership conference that brings together respected voices across branding, marketing, technology, and leadership. Guided by the theme “Redefining Authenticity,” the conference challenges conventional approaches to influence by placing substance, integrity, and human connection at the center of communication.
More than a speaking event, SpeakersCon 2026 positions itself as a space where message meets meaning, where leaders learn not just how to speak, but how to be understood, trusted, and remembered.
A Response to the Age of Noise
In a landscape where platforms are abundant but trust is fragile, SpeakersCon 2026 responds to a growing need for communication that is grounded, intentional, and responsible. The conference recognizes that leadership today is shaped as much by how messages are delivered as by the values behind them.
SpeakersCon was created for individuals who understand that influence is no longer measured by visibility alone, but by credibility, consistency, and impact.
“Authenticity is no longer optional… It’s essential,” said the SpeakersCon 2026 organizing team. “In a time when audiences are more discerning than ever, communication must move beyond performance and return to purpose.”
Communication, Leadership, and the Human Advantage
Positioned as a Communication and Leadership Conference, SpeakersCon 2026 focuses on how leaders, brands, and organizations can communicate with clarity while navigating complexity. The program explores how storytelling, branding, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence intersect with human judgment, ethics, and empathy.
Key content pillars include:
- Authentic communication in leadership and public presence
- Branding and marketing rooted in trust and long-term value
- Storytelling and human-centered influence in a digital-first world
Rather than framing technology as a threat or a shortcut, SpeakersCon 2026 presents AI and innovation as tools that must be guided by discernment, accountability, and human insight.
A Carefully Curated Speaker Lineup
SpeakersCon 2026 features a diverse group of respected voices known for their expertise and real-world impact. Featured speakers include global marketing strategist Mark Schaefer, leadership expert Francis Kong, content creator and online voice Inka Magnaye, financial futurist Ida Tiongson, storytelling and branding specialist Eri Neeman, brain-based marketing advocate Kia Abrera, cybersecurity expert Alan Reyes, digital leadership authority Donald Lim.
The conference will also open with remarks from Senator Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino IV, setting the tone for a day focused on responsible leadership and public discourse.
Each session is designed to offer not just insight, but application… Bridging theory with lived experience across industries.
Designed for Leaders at Every Stage
SpeakersCon 2026 is expected to draw thousands of participants, with a primary focus on corporate leaders and entrepreneurs, alongside influencers, creatives, business professionals, and students and emerging leaders preparing to enter the workforce.
By welcoming a multi-generational audience, the conference creates space for meaningful dialogue across experience levels. Sessions are structured to be accessible yet substantial, offering value to both seasoned professionals and those building their voice for the first time.
“Leadership today requires listening as much as speaking,” the organizers shared. “SpeakersCon is intentionally designed to foster learning, reflection, and connection… Not just content consumption.”
A Full-Day Experience of Learning and Connection
The one-day program includes keynote talks, expert sessions, panel discussions, and a culminating keynote workshop led, focused on how humans can continue to win in an AI-shaped marketing and communication landscape.
Beyond the stage, SpeakersCon 2026 emphasizes the experience—from curated networking moments to interactive discussions that encourage collaboration rather than competition.
