On February 19, 2015, the Filipinos based in the United Arab Emirates will once again experience the biggest finance and investment conference for the FIlipinos in the UAE: Money Talks UAE 2016!!!

Money Talks UAE 2015 was our first attempt to provide our ‘kababayans’ in the UAE with a quality conference that is comprehensive and yet practical; informative and still inspiring… the goal is for the participants to be enabled and be empowered.

As the lead organizer of this conference, I am both proud and honored to share the stage with the individuals that are not only experts in their own fields, they are individuals who share my passion for financial education.

Joining me for this year’s Money Talks UAE are:

Rex Mendoza, RFP — Currently the CEO of Rampver Financials, one of the Philippines’ largest and most dynamic distributors of mutual funds and other financial services. Rex Mendoza was formerly the CEO of Philamlife, a subsidiary of AIA and one of the largest financial services company in the Philippines and globally. He was also the former head of sales of Ayalaland and formerly the President of Ayalaland International Sales Inc. He sits in the board of many organizations such as Alveo, Globe, among others.  He is one of the esteemed mentors of Truly Rich Club.

Edric Mendoza, RFP – He is the lead anchor of ANC’s On The Money, a daily finance show that has been a trailblazer in finance media in the Philippines. Edric is one of the fastest rising finance personalities in the country and he has the knack of making people understand difficult concepts of finance. Close to Edric’s heart is family finance and raising the next generation to be money wise and with the proper values.

Carl Dy – Carl is one of the country’s most sought after speaker and resource person with regard to real estate investing. Carl has many years of experience with the real estate industry and currently the CEO of Spectrum Investments. Carl has been going all over the Philippines and many other countries to enlighten Filipinos on the proper way to grow wealth using property investing. He is the author of a booklet that has helped many people earn from their property investing through renting.

Allan Miranda, AFP – An OFW who is a living testimony on how to financial education can totally empower and enable someone while working abroad. Allan is currently working as an engineer in Dubai and yet he has made headways as an entrepreneur both in the Philippines and in the UAE. He is also very active in the education of many Pinoys in the gulf and one of the reasons why many OFWs are now experiencing financial freedom.

Aside from the distinguished line up of experts, it is with great pride and honor to feature our panel of Associate Financial Planners who have been making waves as exemplary OFW finance advocates. The panel will showcase how the AFPs are enjoying their journey towards financial enablement and at the same time doing their part in educating and encouraging other OFWs to do the same. They are: Arman Felipe, Cherry Murillo, Cherry Poncardas, Josh Mallo, Francis Medina, Franza Angeles and Michelle Tatel.

The event will be held at the Emirates Aviation College Auditorium in Dubai and will run from 9am to 5pm.

What is this conference all about? 

This event will highlight valuable personal finance learnings that will instruct, inspire and empower the audience to achieve their goals in life.

Joining me for this event are my friends Jayson Lo and Carl Dy.

A much sought after motivational speaker, Jayson Lo is the best-selling authors of “YOUnique” and “Debtermined”. He will talk about the money behaviors people have and how to have the proper money mindset to get out of debt and achieve your goals in life.

Carl Dy is one of the country’s foremost expert in real estate investing. He recently authored a booklet titled “6 Steps to Renting out your Condo.” He will show us the right way to invest using real estate and that this is not an investment limited to the ultra rich.

Do not miss the life-changing conference that will help transform Filipinos from Spenders to Savers and ultimately to INVESTORS!

iCon was a long dream of mine because I yearned for the time where more and more Filipinos will be interested in investing for their future. I longed for the day to see long lines of people queuing to enter a financially themed event, the way they do for a block-buster movie. In 2013, the first iCon proved that Filipinos are more receptive to learning finance and investments as 1,000 people flocked to the very first iCon. I was overwhelmed with the site of 1,000 people all eager to take better control of their financial future.

This year, despite the difficulty of mounting an even bigger event, we felt that the Filipinos need an iCon again so we put together even more speakers and an even longer conference time for those attending iCon2014. Our roster of speakers are impressive as they are indeed the subject matter experts of their own fields. However, it is not just the competence of the speakers that made them part of iCon2014 — it is their passion to help Filipino achieve their dreams!
