Geeks On A Beach 2025

OUR STORY

Visit GOAB through the years:

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.

The 8th annual Geeks On A Beach international conference will host over 500 entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and global leaders in tech, startup, and design for an event filled with insightful conversations and opportunities to build up on the things that are important, set in a world-class beach resort in the Philippines.
