Combining bleeding edge presentations with a luxury venue, the next installment of the long-running conference series looks like it will live up to its storied reputation. Protect 2020 is taking place from March 16 until 17 at the New World Makati Hotel–the latter a well-regarded  haven for high profile corporate events. This year’s theme is “Staying Resilient in the Changing Market Dynamics.” The core topics are cybersecurity and cybercrime, data protection, intellectual property, extreme weather disruption, and business risks. The organizers leverage International welcome professionals of all backgrounds who want to participate. (They can register now.)

21st Century Asian Arms Race (21AAR) is a media partner for Protect 2020.

Organizations who plan on exhibiting at Protect 2020 are encouraged to make inquiries and arrange the conditions of their involvement. Enterprise-level sponsorships guarantees broad visibility during the course of the event. Strong participation by government agencies is another incentive to join Protect 2020 either as exhibitor/presenter or to give an exclusive product demo or launch. The complete schedule for conference proper is still being finalized. The first day of talks is dominated by lectures geared for a white collar audience. On the second day, however, are successive briefings on the state of national security in the Philippines. Before the conference hours wrap in the early evening, everyone present are treated to impeccable cocktails.

In keeping with its proven format, Protect 2020’s delegates and visitors have complete access to its exhibition area where local companies and global brands are displaying their promotional materials. This aspect of the event is a serious draw for innovative companies using their visibility in Protect to test the local market. Another reason to attend is the mingling of “security” people, where everyone from the military and law enforcement, backend IT, bosses and consultants, plus sellers and vendors are all interacting in a singe space. Not to mention the food is really good.

Protect 2019 does rank among the better conferences for serious takes on cybersecurity and how it’s impacting the private sector and, by extension, the Filipino public. Whether to have a seat at free sessions given by the Philippines’ biggest IT employers (with generous coffee breaks!) or discovering fresh opportunities, Protect 2019 is always too good to miss for the professional security crowd.

Below is a short message from organizer:

PROTECT consists of a select exhibition, a business conference, technical presentations, new product demos and networking events. It is attended by Decision Makers and CEOs, Senior Officials of government agencies, Security Specialists and Consultants, IT and Cyber Security Professionals, Strategic Planners, Risk Managers, Terrorism Experts, Construction Managers, Architects, Systems Integrators, Critical Infrastructure Operators, Academics, and everyone concerned with security and safety.

PROTECT 2020 will be featuring new technological products and solutions in the exhibition to complement the conference. A 15% early bird discount will be given to those who will book a booth before December 13, 2019.

This event is an ideal occasion to profile your brand to this gathering of business-government decision makers. Due to the limited and selective nature of the exhibit, the spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
