Splace BPO recently had the privilege of participating in the Contact Islands 2024 conference in the beautiful city of Cebu last July 24 to 26,2024. This annual event is organized by the Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP) and it is a must-attend gathering for anyone in the BPO industry. This 3-day event was filled with sessions, discussions, and a chance to connect with key players, CCAP heads, leading multimedia organizations, and industry stakeholders. It’s all about coming together to share knowledge, discuss trends, and promote innovation in the BPO sector.
This year’s conference included geopolitics with a clear rationale- to create a more balanced and inclusive industry by tapping into new talent pools outside the traditional hubs of Manila and Cebu. With potential digital cities having their roadmaps, the initiative promises to bring economic benefits and job opportunities to regions across the Philippines. Thus, we’re excited about this initiative and eager to contribute through our presence and operations in Davao.
Key Highlights from Contact Islands 2024
Day one kicked off with setting an inspiring tone for the event and an industry report by CCAP Chairman and a keynote speech by Mr. Mitch Locsin. The subsequent days included breakout and workshop sessions on a variety of topics, such as HR management, marketing operations, business continuity planning, and security. These are the major topics that pumped out all attendees.
Global Dynamics and AI-Driven Customer Experience
One of the key highlights was the session on global dynamics and AI-driven customer experience. Industry leaders discussed how AI is transforming customer service that makes interactions more personalized. This is particularly relevant for BPOs like Splace, where leveraging AI can enhance service delivery and client satisfaction.
Optimized Supply Chain Strategy
Everything is interconnected and having a strong supply chain will lead to more successes. This talk was basically about seamless flow of goods, information, and finances from point A to point B without any delay. The keynote speaker highlighted how BPOs can be the unsung heroes in streamlining supply chains. Reducing costs and boosting efficiency might sound too good to be true, but it’s entirely possible. BPOs can handle order processing to customer service without compromising that each link in the supply chain is as strong as the next.
Marketing Track and Digital Marketing
Let’s talk about the marketing track that was nothing short of enlightening! These sessions were packed with marketing strategies that had everyone buzzing. Social media, SEO, and content marketing are progressing. Hence, the experts at the event shared some golden nuggets on how to leverage these tools to not just keep up but to actually get ahead. One key takeaway was the power of authentic engagement that emphasizes getting brands out there and connecting with the audience in a genuine way.
Cybersecurity and Regulatory Compliance
Cybersecurity and regulatory compliance were also major points of discussion. With increasing cyber threats, maintaining more secure and stronger cybersecurity measures should be highly prioritized. The introduction of the Philippine Skills Framework’s new cybersecurity career track is a step towards building a skilled workforce to tackle these challenges. Ensuring regulatory compliance is equally important to maintain trust and integrity in the industry.
CEO Forum
Another key highlight was the CEO Forum where leaders from various BPO companies, including Splace BPO, shared their visions for the future of the industry. The forum provided a platform for CEOs to discuss initiatives, leadership challenges, and opportunities for growth. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to share our insights and learn from the experiences of other industry leaders.
Participation and Insights of Splace BPO
Splace BPO has an exceptional chance to get more deeply into the BPO industry’s pulse as a participant. As we networked with prominent figures in the sector, discussed important topics, and offered our perspectives, the atmosphere was exhilarating and powering at the same time.

One of the standout moments for us was the session on AI integration. The latest advancement on AI technologies such as natural language processing and machine learning algorithms are set to revolutionize customer service. By implementing these technologies, we can make interactions more personalized that would drastically improve customer satisfaction.
The focus on cybersecurity was particularly exciting for us as well. We gathered insights on the latest cybersecurity threats and the best practices to combat them. Our goal is to integrate advanced cybersecurity protocols to safeguard our operations and build trust with our clients.
