MANILA, Philippines — Geeks On A Beach (GOAB), the international tech community, today announced the virtual GOAB AI Engineering Masterclass Series. The series runs throughout October 2026.
Since 2013, GOAB has brought together thousands of tech builders, investors, and startup founders at its annual gathering. GOAB is not holding its traditional in-person beachfront conference this year. Organizers said the fast shift to generative AI calls for action now, not next year.
“Software teams cannot wait for an annual conference to modernize their stacks,” the organizers said. “In place of our in-person gathering, we are delivering immediate value by connecting builders directly with trusted practitioners solving production challenges every day.”
According to the Philippine AI Report, 92% of local organizations are experimenting with AI, but 65% remain stuck in the pilot stage. They face runaway API costs, security risks, and architectural debt. GOAB’s hands-on masterclasses aim to close that gap with two confirmed, practitioner-led tracks.

- Instructor: Vince Loremia
- Schedule: October 7 & 14, 10 AM–12 PM PHT
