Clay in Manila: The Rise of GTM Engineers in 2027
✨ Purpose
GTM engineering is one of the fastest-growing roles in the market.
Instead of adding headcount, companies now hire people who build the systems behind the pipeline: data, enrichment, signals, AI agents, and automated outbound, mostly in Clay.
If you're curious about the role or already on the path, join us and hear from people doing the job every day.
For the first time, Marielle Camba, Marco Strohm Katigbak, and Felipe Nino Clave will share how they work as GTM engineers.
Expect real talk on how to get started, what to learn first, the mistakes to avoid, and much more.
💬 Vibe
Everyone is welcome! It doesn't matter whether you use Clay every day, are just curious, or are already an advanced user.
The event has two parts:
Speaker sessions: our speakers share their journey as GTM engineers, plus a short live demo
Networking: plenty of time to meet new people and swap stories over drinks
This isn't a technical deep dive into Clay, and we won't get into advanced workflows.
It's for anyone curious about the GTM engineering role, and for GTM engineers who want to see how others do the work. Come for the stories and stay for the people.
