Geeks On A Beach 2024 to Feature Exclusive Master Classes for Leaders and Startups on November 13

In an exciting lead-up to this year’s Geeks On A Beach (GOAB) conference, which will be held in Cebu on November 13, exclusive master classes will be featured tailored for leaders and startups looking to elevate their skills. 

"GOAB masterclasses offer in-depth insights and practical takeaways, empowering participants to excel and thrive in their fields. We encourage budding entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts to join," said Tina Amper, GOAB lead organizer.

Each master class offers a comprehensive two-hour workshop on tech, startups, design, and business topics led by international industry experts.

"Participants can dive deep into key topics, engage with experts, and network with peers, with plenty of opportunities for Q&A and meaningful discussions," said Amper.

Getting media attention to boost your startup

The first masterclass is “How to get media attention that can boost your startup’s credibility for fundraising, sales, and hiring.” 

This session, led by Mohan Belani, CEO and Co-Founder of e27, offers a crash course in media outreach specifically for startups. Participants will gain insights into how journalists think and learn to craft compelling press releases. 

“The goal is to leverage media attention to enhance a startup’s credibility, making it easier to raise funds, increase sales, and attract top talent,” said Belani.

This masterclass is ideal for founders, marketers, or anyone aiming to boost their startup’s visibility for fundraising, sales, or hiring.

Mastering leadership in startup contexts

The second masterclass is titled “Leadership need not be lonely: Let’s decode and thrive together.”

Hosted by Ksther Lim, CEO of The People Decoder, this masterclass addresses the challenges of leadership and the feeling of isolation that often accompanies it. Through reflective activities and live problem-solving exercises, participants will explore strategies to foster deeper connections, build confidence, and achieve better results as leaders. 

“The session aims to equip leaders with the tools needed to navigate leadership with clarity and thrive in their roles,” said Lim.

This session is designed for senior leaders, executives, or anyone looking to strengthen their leadership skills, develop meaningful connections, and overcome team challenges.

Call for participation

GOAB will feature a total of six pre-conference masterclasses. 

“Whether you're a startup founder, senior leader, or part of a growing team, these masterclasses are filled with insights to help you level up before the GOAB conference,” said Amper.

“Don't miss the chance to learn from the best and connect with like-minded professionals,” she concluded.
