GoDigital Pilipinas Cashless Expo 2023 Free Registration, Now Open!

Committed to the goal of creating a highly digitalized Philippines, GoDigital Pilipinas remains steadfast in its dedication to fostering a connected and digitally inclusive society, aligning with the "Bagong Pilipinas" movement and supporting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s vision of positioning the country at the forefront of the digital world.

In pursuit of this mission, GoDigital Pilipinas is organizing the inaugural "Cashless Expo 2023" scheduled from November 17 to 19 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

GoDigital Pilipinas Executive Director Mishy Co explains, "The organizers and stakeholders from both the public and private sectors are joining together to create awareness and boost the Filipino consumer's confidence in exploring the world of digital transactions and understanding its countless advantages. Thus, we see the event as a celebration in digital progress and innovation."

The 3-day expo receives support from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Agriculture (DA), and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Joining the cause are hundreds of exhibitors, including farmers and SMEs, supporting the "cashless" movement.

The event will feature a "one-stop bazaar" where shoppers can enjoy the best products from all regions of the Philippines at affordable prices. To encourage the shift to digital payment transactions, exhibitors will exclusively accept digital payment methods such as cash transfers via digital banks, e-wallets, and debit/credit cards.

Co notes, "Two leading fintech companies, Maya and GCash, are uniting in this event to support our mission." The event is co-sponsored by PLDT, Visa, Unionbank, Tiktok, Lazada, Zalora, McDonald’s, UnionDigital Bank, RCBC, Grab, and Foodpanda.

Attendees can anticipate engaging talks and insightful learning sessions curated by stakeholders from both public and private sectors. Co emphasizes, "Cashless Expo 2023 aims to provide visitors an immersive and transformative journey. We conceptualized the event as a sort of 'platform' for consumers to experience firsthand the ease and advantage of doing digital transactions and for the market to develop a profound appreciation for going 'cashless.'"

Co concludes, "We are all united in these key messaging pillars: 1. Digital transformation is the key to propelling economic growth and prosperity; 2. Digital transactions are both convenient and secure; and 3. Switching to digital payments reduces the cost associated with producing and managing physical currency, thereby fostering financial stability and sustainability."
