The Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) and Outsource2Philippines are holding the second CEO Briefing of the year—“Driving Cost Efficiency, Maximizing Profitability: The Cost of Doing Business in the Philippines”. This briefing will take place on June 21, 2012 from 7:00 am to 11:00 am at Makati Shangri-La (Function Rooms Manila A - B).

With the Philippines now a major player in the IT-BPO industry, it is imperative to tackle and gain insight on the real costs of doing business in the country. Specifically, this CEO Briefing will focus on issues such as competitiveness, cost efficiency, and the country’s economic forecast. As is customary, the briefing will feature presentations and discussions led by expert analysts, company executives, and ranking representatives of the government. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with speakers and panelists.

Panel discussions will examine operating costs, including telecommunications, networking products, cloud computing, energy, procurement, and human resources benefits. The second panel discussion focuses on the industry and government perspective, and will be led by representatives of local government units, Department of Trade and Industry, Philippine Economic Zone Authority, Chartis, and Infosys.

While we accept a modest delegate fee to cover expenses, the meeting is by invitation only and is designed specifically for C-level executives—decision makers like you. We encourage you to register early for this opportunity since seats are limited.
