Speaking
AI Keynote Speaker in the Philippines
JC de las Alas speaks on AI at work, data analytics, automation, and leadership, for companies, schools, LGUs, and professional groups. Live online anywhere in the Philippines, and on-site in Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila.
Who is a good AI keynote speaker in the Philippines?
JC de las Alas is an AI keynote speaker in the Philippines and the founder of Millennial Business Academy. He is Google and Oracle certified, a Data Analytics Manager at Schneider Electric, a former Senior Software Engineer at Accenture, and a part-time IT professor at De La Salle University - Dasmariñas. He has trained Filipino professionals since 2018.
That mix is the point. A speaker who only consults can describe AI. A speaker who only teaches can explain it. He does the work on weekdays, teaches it on evenings and weekends, and runs corporate training programs for teams the rest of the time, so the examples on stage come from real systems rather than from a keynote deck.
Speaking Topics
What does JC de las Alas speak about?
5 talks, drawn from what the academy actually teaches. Each one is scoped to the room and built around a single takeaway, and each links to the hands-on program behind it.
AI at work, past the hype
What AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude actually do for an ordinary workday, what they get wrong, and how to tell the difference before you forward the output to your boss.
Takeaway: The room leaves able to brief an AI tool properly and check what it hands back.
Training program: Applied Generative AI for the WorkplaceReading your own numbers
Why most teams sit on data they never use, and what changes when people can clean it, question it, and turn it into a decision instead of another report.
Takeaway: The room leaves knowing which questions their data can answer, and which ones it cannot.
Training program: Enterprise Data Analytics with AIWho owns the numbers: data and AI governance in plain English
Governance framed as accountability rather than paperwork: who owns a dataset, who can use it, and what guardrails a team needs before it points AI at company data.
Takeaway: Leaders leave with a shared vocabulary for ownership, access, and risk.
Training program: AI Strategy for ExecutivesAutomating the work nobody wants to do
A walkthrough of the repetitive work sitting in every department, and how automation removes the copy-paste part without removing the person doing the thinking.
Takeaway: Everyone leaves with one repetitive task in their own week identified as automatable.
Training program: Intelligent Process AutomationLeading a team that now works with AI
What a manager is responsible for when half the team is already using AI quietly: setting expectations, leading the change, and deciding where AI helps and where it does not.
Takeaway: Managers leave with a clear position to bring back to their own team.
Training program: Leadership in the Age of AI

FAQ
Booking an AI keynote speaker: common questions
Short, honest answers. Where a number is not published yet, this page says so.
Send the event details through the inquiry form on the corporate training page: your date, the venue or platform, who is in the room, roughly how many people, and how long you want the talk to run. You get a written proposal back with the topic scoped to that audience.
AI at work, data analytics, data and AI governance, automation, and leadership in the age of AI. Each talk is built around a single takeaway the room can act on, and the examples are swapped to match the industry or the agency in front of him.
Both. Sessions run in-house at your office, live online, and hybrid. Live online reaches anywhere in the Philippines. On-site speaking covers Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila. On-site coverage outside these areas is arranged case by case.
Millennial Business Academy publishes rates for corporate training sessions, not for keynote talks, so a speaking fee is quoted per event. No standard keynote rate is published. Send your date, venue, audience size, and run time through the corporate training inquiry form and you get a written quote.
No, and it is worth being clear about it. A keynote is one talk that shifts how a room thinks about AI or data. Training is hands-on over several hours, on your own files, with a certificate for each participant and a published rate card. Many organizations book the talk first, then the training.
Yes. He teaches Information Technology part-time at De La Salle University - Dasmariñas, and speaks on AI and data analytics at universities and industry events, so a student assembly or a faculty session is familiar ground rather than a special case.
English, with Filipino used where it lands better. Millennial Business Academy writes and teaches for a Filipino audience, so the examples, the salaries, and the job titles referenced are local ones, not imported from a US deck.
