Geeks On A Beach Launches AI Masterclasses Helping Tech Leaders and Teams Build Cost-Efficient, Enterprise-Grade AI Systems

MANILA, Philippines — Leading international tech community Geeks On A Beach (GOAB) has officially announced the virtual GOAB AI Engineering Masterclass Series, running throughout October 2026.

Since 2013, GOAB has gathered thousands of tech builders, investors, and startup founders for its premier annual gathering. While GOAB is not staging its traditional in-person beachfront conference this year, organizers stressed that the rapid shift toward generative AI demands immediate action.

"Software teams cannot wait for an annual conference to modernize their stacks," the organizers noted. "In place of our in-person gathering, we are delivering immediate value by connecting builders directly with trusted practitioners solving production challenges every day."

According to the Philippine AI Report, while 92% of local organizations experiment with AI, 65% remain stalled in the pilot stage—battling runaway API costs, security risks, and architectural debt. To bridge this gap, GOAB's hands-on masterclasses feature two confirmed practitioner-led tracks:

Module 1: AI Software Architecture — From Vibe Coding to Production
Instructor: Vince Loremia (Oct 7 & 14, 10 AM–12 PM PHT)
Focus: Hardening architectures, endpoint defense, and cutting API costs by up to 90% via tactical caching and local routing.

Module 2: AI-Augmented Software Engineering — Workflows & Cloud Agents
Instructor: Prince John Santillan (Oct 20 & 22, 10 AM–12 PM PHT)
Focus: Structuring the dev cycle, multi-model orchestration (Claude, Codex, Grok), and asynchronous Cursor Cloud Agents.

Registration & Passes

Each track provides 4 hours of live sessions, permanent replays, and a verifiable Module Certificate. Early-bird passes ($79–$99 USD / ~₱4,600–₱5,700 PHP) are available through September 30, 2026. For inquiries, contact hello@geeksonabeach.com.
