What is SaaScon PH ‘26?

SaaSCon PH is the premier gathering for the SaaS and AI community in the Philippines, bringing together:

SaaS, platform, and AI founders and leaders

SME and enterprise SaaS decision-makers

Venture capital and private equity investors

Local and global media partners

AI is no longer just a tool. It’s becoming the operating system of modern companies.

SaaScon PH is the premier gathering of the SaaS and AI ecosystem in the Philippines — bringing together founders, enterprise leaders, investors, and technology innovators shaping the next generation of business.

In 2026, the conversation shifts from whether AI will transform companies to how leaders are redesigning their organizations around it.

From AI-native platforms to agent-driven workflows, enterprises are entering a new phase of digital transformation — one where software does more than support work. It now performs it.

At SaaScon PH ’26, we explore how companies are adapting their strategy, workforce, and technology to operate in this new environment.

Whether you’re building, scaling, or investing in software, SaaScon PH is where the region’s next generation of SaaS and AI companies come together.
