The programme also includes a fireside chat between Lloyd Robson, vice president for sales and operations Asia for Aristocrat Gaming, and Benjamin Romualdez, president of the Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines.
The company said the discussion will promote insights into “practical strategies for advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace”.
