Geeks on a Beach (GOAB) is an event that thrives on combining innovation, networking, and the beauty of the Philippines’ coastal destinations. Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark, located in Cebu, is the perfect venue to host this unique conference. With its stunning beachfront location, world-class amenities, and deep connection to Cebu’s tourism culture, Jpark aligns seamlessly with the spirit of GOAB and its vision of fostering innovation in a laid-back, collaborative setting.

A Premier Coastal Setting for Innovation

Jpark Island Resort’s prime location on Mactan Island offers the best of Cebu’s renowned beaches and natural beauty. With its expansive shoreline, blue waters, and modern facilities, the resort provides a serene yet invigorating backdrop for GOAB attendees. This beachfront setting allows participants to take breaks from the tech-heavy discussions, unwind, and build connections in a relaxed atmosphere—hallmarks of the GOAB experience.

The resort’s variety of open spaces, conference halls, and networking-friendly areas make it ideal for mixing business with leisure, which has always been the essence of GOAB. Here, delegates can participate in pitch sessions, workshops, and panel discussions, then seamlessly shift to beachside networking and casual conversations that drive meaningful collaborations.

An Alignment with the Philippines’ Tourism Culture

Cebu is one of the Philippines' top tourist destinations, known for its warm hospitality, rich history, and vibrant culture. Jpark Island Resort captures these elements perfectly. It combines the beauty of Cebu’s beaches with luxury and adventure, embodying the best of Cebuano tourism. The resort is designed to provide both excitement and relaxation, offering water parks, outdoor activities, and luxury accommodations. This mirrors the balance GOAB aims to strike between intense discussions on innovation and the laid-back, creative vibe that the event is famous for.

Moreover, Cebu has long been recognized for its craftsmanship, resourcefulness, and forward-thinking culture. Cebuano  traits such as “abilidad” (ingenuity) and Filipino traits such as “bayanihan” (spirit of unity and cooperation) reflect the very ethos of GOAB, where collaboration and creativity are key. Jpark, with its impeccable service and thoughtful design, represents this Filipino spirit of excellence and innovation, creating a venue where great ideas can be born and nurtured.

Bridging Tech and Tourism in Cebu

Hosting GOAB at a world-class resort hotel is a strong testament to the synergy between Cebu’s growing tech industry and its well-established tourism sector. Cebu is not only a tourism powerhouse but also an emerging tech hub, with a rapidly growing startup scene. Jpark, with its luxurious amenities and scenic views, allows GOAB delegates to experience both of these facets of Cebu—an immersive environment where business meets pleasure, innovation meets relaxation, and local culture meets global ideas.

The venue embodies Cebu’s ability to evolve while maintaining its rich traditions, making it a place where tech innovators, business leaders, and creatives can gather, collaborate, and enjoy the best Cebu has to offer. This alignment with Cebu’s tourism values and its evolving tech ecosystem makes Jpark the ideal setting for GOAB to continue its mission of connecting innovators and pushing boundaries.

Value to GOAB Delegates

For delegates of GOAB, Jpark Island Resort is more than just a venue—it’s a symbol of what the event is all about: meaningful, impactful innovation in a setting that inspires. Delegates will not only be able to engage in industry-shaping discussions but also experience the warmth, hospitality, and excitement that Cebu offers. The synergy of tech and tourism in Cebu, personified by Jpark, enhances the overall value of attending GOAB, making it a destination not just for business, but for memorable experiences that fuel creativity and collaboration.


Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark is the ideal venue for Geeks on a Beach, perfectly blending Cebu’s tourism charm with the event’s focus on innovation. By hosting GOAB here, the event brings together the best of tech, design, and business in a setting that reflects the ingenuity and collaboration of the Cebuano spirit, offering a unique space where ideas flourish and new partnerships emerge.
