The iGROW 2026 Experience
iGROW is a one-of-a-kind immersive experience designed specifically for business owners and their Philippine-based team members. This year, iGROW returns to the “City of Gentle People,” Dumaguete, from May 30 to June 6, 2026, offering a week meticulously crafted to blend high-level professional development with essential face-to-face bonding.
The week features several high-impact highlights designed to transform your business:
High-Impact Professional Growth
The core of iGROW is a two-day intensive business conference held at the elegant Brooke’s Place. Featuring a lineup of powerhouse keynote speakers and interactive workshops, this summit is designed to inspire and up-skill your team. You will be right there with them as they gain the tools and mindset needed to elevate their productivity and take on greater responsibilities.
Strategic Team Alignment
iGROW provides the rare physical space for you to bond deeply with your team. Between conference sessions, you have dedicated windows to conduct your own internal training on your business’s culture, systems, and processes. These professional moments are balanced with celebratory evening events, including welcome drinks at Bahia and an exclusive client dinner at La Mensa, ensuring your team feels valued and aligned with your vision.
The Pickleball Challenge & Local Adventures
To close the week, we are introducing a thrilling new tradition: the first-ever Intermediate and Advanced iGROW Pickleball Tournament. Whether you are competing or cheering from the sidelines, it is a high-energy way to celebrate your team’s spirit. For those seeking a different kind of thrill, the weekend offers the chance to explore the region’s natural beauty—from the world-class snorkeling of Apo Island to the refreshing scenery of the Chada Valencia tour.

Your Chance to Visit Your Staff in the Philippines & Give Them Access to World-Class Training
Yes, right now we suggest you book for yourself and all of your current Filipino-based team. Then if you hire more people between now and the conference, you can get more tickets when you need them. Also, while we can’t offer your refund for tickets purchased, you can reallocate your tickets to another person if your team changes.
Yes, you can just send your staff. We will look after them, and they will have a great time. However, without question, the experience will be enhanced with your physical presence. So if you can block the week to be there, that is definitely best. But if you can’t be there, get them tickets for iGROW and we will take good care of them.
Even though WrkPod is the major sponsor and contributor to the event, we subscribe to the philosophy: a rising tide lifts all ships. So the two days of iGROW are open to anyone that has staff, anywhere in the Philippines. In this case, if they’re not based in Dumaguete, you will need to cover domestic flights and at least two nights of accommodation. Yes, it’s an investment, but the increase in performance you get from training your team will make it more than worth it. Plus, domestic flights on AirAsia or CebuPacific are highly affordable, and there is accommodation to suit every budget.
Sure, we are happy to help you. Please send us an email with your question and will get back to you in the next 24 to 48 hours. Our email address is: [email protected].
