The Adaptive Paradigm: Competing in an Inflationary and AI-Powered Marketplace

Thursday, 25 June 2026

8:30 am-12 pm

7/F Ballroom, Marco Polo Hotel, Meralco Avenue and Sapphire Rd, Ortigas Centre, Pasig City, Philippines.

In the Philippines, inflation isn’t just a headline – it’s reshaping how consumers spend, switch, and prioritize. Essentials take center stage; brand loyalty is tested, and every peso matters more than ever. For FMCG players, the challenge is clear: protect growth while navigating shrinking wallets and rising costs.

This event takes you directly into that reality. Starting with the latest Philippines 2026: Market & Consumer Outlook, we decode how inflation is changing Filipino consumer behavior, and what it means for demand, value perception, and brand choice.

But insight alone isn’t enough. How do you truly adapt when shoppers trade down, delay purchases, or seek promotions more aggressively? Through practical perspectives, explore how to optimize pricing, promotions, balancing competitiveness with profitability. Learn how leading players are using store-level data and machine learning to identify real volume drivers, refine timing, and maximize ROI in a highly price-sensitive market.

As volatility becomes the norm, agility becomes your edge. Discover how AI enables faster, smarter decisions – helping you respond to shifts in real time and stay ahead in an increasingly complex environment.

Beyond insights, this is a space to challenge assumptions, exchange perspectives, and connect with peers facing the same pressures. You’ll leave with clear, actionable strategies to compete stronger – and win in an inflationary, AI-powered marketplace.
