Social Media Week Manila 2018: Connecting the Missing Link

With its vast platform, social media is no longer used just for communication alone. Over the years, it continues to innovate, opening new opportunities in many industries such as marketing. The Philippines is particularly known as the Social Media Capital of the world due to a large number of Filipinos who spend a lot of time using the internet on a daily basis.

Having earned this status, Social Media Week, one of the world’s premier conferences and industry news platforms for media, marketing, and technology professionals since 2009, brings its series of international conferences to the country.
