OUR STORY
Geeks on a Beach (GOAB) is where people come together to discuss ideas that shape the future. It’s a conference tackling today’s critical topics in a relaxed, beachside setting.
GOAB promises to re-engage the regional community, create new connections, and open new vistas of opportunity.
Geeks on a Beach started from the pioneering efforts of TechTalks.ph, which has undergone a transformation and is now known as #GeeksPH.
