Gokongwei Group To Zero In On Cybersecurity, AI, At Go Limitless Conference
The Gokongwei Group is set to hold the Go Limitless digital conference on August 6 and 7. The conference will feature fireside chats and talks from key experts who aim to help businesses harness the rapid advancements in generative artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cybersecurity.
The conglomerate is capitalizing on the success of its previous JG Summit digital Enterprise Conference in 2019, as state-of-the art tech has evolved considerably since then.
“AI is no longer a specialized tool—it’s becoming part of how all of us work, think, and serve,” said Lance Gokongwei, President and CEO of JG Summit Holdings and the head of the Gokongwei Group. “The opportunity ahead isn’t just technical. It’s cultural. It’s operational. And it’s urgent.”
In a statement, the company said AI is now being more widely accepted and is considered central to the operations of many businesses who seek to stay competitive in the current landscape.
Go Limitless features tech showcases from 20 leading global and local partners such as Adobe, Nexus Technologies, Inc., Lenovo, Accenture, and HP PPS Philippines, Inc. among others. The companies will have booths that will also offer attendees real-time demonstrations of the newest digital tools relevant to their respective diverse businesses.
