HighLevel LIVE Manila 2026: Dates, Tickets & Speakers

HighLevel is bringing its LIVE event series to the Philippines for the first time. HighLevel LIVE Manila 2026 runs August 8-9 at the Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts, with early check-in available the evening before. This piece covers the confirmed dates, venue, ticket tiers, speaker lineup, and the company's own stated reason for choosing Manila, sourced directly from HighLevel's event page and its official blog.

When and Where Is HighLevel LIVE Manila 2026?

The event runs August 8-9, 2026, at the Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts, 2 Resorts Drive, Pasay City, Metro Manila, 1309, Philippines. Early check-in opens August 7 from 10 AM to 7 PM for attendees who want to collect badges and avoid the first-morning line, according to HighLevel's official event page.

This is the third city on HighLevel's 2026 LIVE event series. The company already ran HighLevel LIVE New Delhi on February 25-27, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Gurugram, and has a Mexico City stop planned for April 2026. Manila is the first Southeast Asian date announced for the series.

How Much Do HighLevel LIVE Manila Tickets Cost?

HighLevel is running early bird pricing on both ticket tiers as of this writing:

Prices and inclusions are current as of July 22, 2026, per HighLevel's Manila event page. Early bird windows close before an event, so confirm current pricing on the official page before buying.

Who Is Speaking at HighLevel LIVE Manila 2026?

HighLevel has confirmed the following speakers so far, with the lineup pulled directly from the event page:

• Chase Buckner - HighLevel Senior Director of Product Marketing
• Cece Tan - HL Accelerator

HighLevel's event page notes additional speakers and sessions will be announced closer to the event date. The confirmed agenda includes speaker sessions, AI-focused presentations, a Q&A with HighLevel's co-founders, exhibitor booths, live tech support, and an evening networking party.

What Hasn't Been Announced Yet

As of this writing, HighLevel has not published a full session-by-session agenda, a complete final speaker list, or a hard cutoff date for early bird pricing. Anyone booking travel around this event should treat the confirmed speaker list and the two-day date range as fixed, but check the official event page again closer to August for the finalized schedule before locking in flights tied to a specific session time.

Why Is HighLevel Hosting a Live Event in the Philippines?

This is not HighLevel's first move into the Philippine market. In a company blog post from September 2025, HighLevel stated that the Philippines ranks #2 worldwide for HighLevel Certified Admins, second only to the United States. The same post reported nearly 1,500 attendees at an earlier Manila certification summit and more than 220 Filipino professionals committed to the certification program at that time, with 75-plus already certified.

HighLevel's Director of Certifications, Alicia Pagano, said in that post: "Taking the stage in front of 1,500 Manila learners showed me exactly what's possible when talent meets opportunity." The Manila Times was quoted in the same piece calling the summit proof that "with the right tools, support, and partnerships, Filipino talent can lead in the global digital economy." The company's post also noted more than 2,600 direct messages had reached certified admins through HighLevel's Directory since a March 2025 upgrade, and roughly 30 help requests per week were coming through the Directory, up from about 40 per month via in-app submissions before that change, a rough proxy for how active the certified-admin community in the Philippines had become even before this year's LIVE event was announced.

For agencies and consultants who already work with GoHighLevel-certified admins or virtual assistants based in the Philippines, this context matters: HighLevel LIVE Manila is not a one-off marketing stop, it follows a certification and community base the company has been building in the country for at least a year. The same HighLevel blog post noted the earlier certification summit aligned with the Philippine Department of Information and Communications Technology's goal of creating 8 million digital jobs, positioning the certification program as part of that broader push rather than a standalone HighLevel initiative.

What Happens at a HighLevel LIVE Event?

HighLevel LIVE Manila follows the same format the company has used at its other 2026 stops. Per the official event page, attendees get:

• Speaker sessions across the two days, covering AI features, agency growth tactics, and platform strategy from both outside experts and HighLevel's own team.
• A Q&A session with HighLevel's co-founders, a fixture of the LIVE series that gives attendees direct access to the people building the product roadmap.
• Exhibitor booths from HighLevel partners and tool vendors in the ecosystem.
• In-person tech support, meaning attendees can bring account-specific questions to HighLevel staff on-site rather than waiting on a support ticket.
• An evening networking party, with Premium ticket holders getting complimentary drink tickets.
• Session recordings included with both ticket tiers, so attendees who miss a session live are not locked out of the content afterward.

The optional Certified Admin Training add-on runs alongside the main event for attendees who want to pursue or extend HighLevel's certification track while they are already in Manila for the conference.

How to Register for HighLevel LIVE Manila 2026

Registration runs through HighLevel's official Manila event page, where you select a ticket tier, add the Certified Admin Training track if wanted, and complete checkout. Because the pricing shown is early bird (Standard $97 against a $147 list price, Premium $247 against $297), locking in a ticket sooner rather than later avoids paying the higher list price once the early bird window closes. HighLevel has not published a specific early bird cutoff date on the page as of this writing, so treat current pricing as time-limited rather than fixed through August 8.

How Does Manila Fit HighLevel's 2026 Global Event Calendar?

Manila is not an isolated stop. HighLevel opened its 2026 LIVE series in New Delhi, India, on February 25-27 at the Hyatt Regency Gurugram, positioned around access to South Asian market leaders. An April 2026 date followed in Mexico City. Manila, in August, extends the same playbook into Southeast Asia, and it lands in a market HighLevel has already invested in directly through its certification program rather than a market it is entering cold.

For an agency owner deciding which regional HighLevel event to prioritize, the practical difference is audience composition: New Delhi skewed toward South Asian agency leaders, and Manila is likely to draw heavily from the Philippines' certified admin and virtual-assistant community given HighLevel's own stated ranking there.

Should You Attend HighLevel LIVE Manila 2026?

Whether the trip makes sense depends on what you are trying to get out of it:

Worth it if: you already run an agency or SaaS business on GoHighLevel and want direct access to the co-founders and product team, you are based in or near Southeast Asia and want to avoid the cost and time zone of a US conference trip, or you work with (or want to hire) Philippines-based certified admins and want to network with that specific community in person rather than over a video call.

Skip it if: you are still evaluating whether GoHighLevel is the right platform at all. Our GoHighLevel review and the free trial linked below will tell you more about fit at zero cost than a conference ticket will, and our GoHighLevel training guide covers the same certification track HighLevel's Manila summits are built around, without the travel.
