MAKATI, PHILIPPINES — As businesses worldwide pivot toward artificial intelligence, a critical gap remains between strategic interest and operational execution. To address this, Geeks On A Beach (GOAB) and Symph.co are proud to announce the AI Implementation Masterclass: Bridging the Gap from Strategy to Execution, taking place on May 22, 2026, in Makati.
🌍 Global Expertise, Local Impact
The masterclass will be led by Tim Santos, a veteran AI practitioner operating at the frontier of the industry. Based in London, Santos serves as a Director of Product at Graphcore—a global pioneer in AI hardware and a key innovator in the chip industry. As a UK-based Filipino and lead author of the Philippine AI Report 2025, Tim is bringing his experience from the heart of the global AI market to help the Philippines lead in AI adoption.
“A Silicon Valley playbook won’t just copy-paste to the Philippines,” says Santos. “We’re taking the ground truth from 175 Philippine organizations and translating global best practices into local nuances. I’m here to help our local talent get maximum performance out of this technology and build an ecosystem that actually works for the Philippines.”
Moving Past the Hype
Unlike typical seminars that focus on the theoretical “what” of AI, this five-hour intensive workshop focuses on the “how.” Attendees will move through a structured three-phase sprint:
- The Local Landscape: Analyzing data-driven insights from the Philippine AI Report 2025.
- Live Strategy Sprint: Using Large Language Models (LLMs) and expert frameworks to identify high-ROI use cases.
- The 30-60-90 Day Roadmap: Building a ready-to-use, executable action plan.
The event is open to all who are serious about implementing practical AI solutions. Santos strongly encourages the attendance of “Strategic Duos”—pairs consisting of a Decision Maker (CEO/Founder/Business Leader) and an Executor (CTO/Product/Tech Lead)—to ensure plans are both business-aligned and technically sound. The venue partner for this event is Zero-Ten Park, a Japanese-founded, premier co-working space in Makati.
