The AI Layer Meetup Manila
🍽️ Food and catering provided
Every team runs on multiple systems: a CRM for sales, a BI tool for reporting, an ERP for operations, and each one comes with its own logic, its own menus, its own learning curve. The result: hours lost switching context, re-entering data, and waiting on "the person who knows how that system works."
It shows up in familiar ways: a sales rep re-typing the same customer info into three different tools. A finance team waiting days for a report that should take minutes. An ops manager who's the only one who knows how to pull a specific number out of the ERP. New hires spending their first month just learning where things live instead of doing the job they were hired for. None of this is anyone's fault, it's what happens when systems grow faster than the people trying to use them.
This isn't a lecture. It's a room full of people who deal with these exact problems every day, and they'll show you how they've actually solved them, not just talk about it. Three practitioners, a Salesforce developer, a BI specialist, and an enterprise systems practitioner will walk through real use cases from their own work: where the friction was, what they tried, and what actually stuck. After that, the floor opens up, so you can bring your own version of these problems into the room.
You'll leave with practical ideas you can try on Monday, not a pitch, not a framework, just what's working for people solving the same problems you are.
