The NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp brought together some of the brightest SaaS founders, AI innovators, automation experts, and entrepreneurs in the Philippines for three unforgettable days of networking, training, and collaboration in beautiful Boracay.

Organized by Jay-Cee “Cece” Tan and the NextLevel HumanX (NHX) team, the event combined high-level SaaS education with world-class hospitality, creating an experience that attendees repeatedly described as exceeding expectations.

From luxury yacht networking and Voice AI workshops to SaaS demos, onboarding systems, founder masterminds, and beachside celebrations, the NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp delivered massive value while building stronger relationships across the growing SaaS and AI community in the Philippines.

NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp Brings SaaS Founders Together in Paradise

Boracay has long been known as one of the world’s top island destinations, famous for its turquoise waters, powder-white beaches, and incredible sunsets. But for three powerful days, it also became the center of innovation for the Philippines SaaS and automation industry.

The NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp attracted founders, agency owners, marketers, AI experts, and SaaSpreneurs from across the Philippines and internationally, including attendees from South Africa. This was the first saas bootcamp in the Philippines

What made the event stand out was the atmosphere.

This was not a traditional conference where attendees simply sat through endless presentations. The NHX experience was immersive, collaborative, and implementation-focused. Conversations happened everywhere – at breakfast tables, during networking sessions, in mastermind groups, and even while cruising through Boracay’s crystal-clear waters.

Attendees consistently praised:

• The quality of the speakers

• Actionable SaaS strategies

• AI automation insights

• Founder networking opportunities

• Incredible hospitality

• Amazing food

• Relaxed but high-level environment

• Genuine community support

By the end of the event, many founders felt they had not only learned new strategies but also found a new community.

Day 1 Cruise Networking and the “We Have Arrived” Entrepreneur Mindset

The event kicked off with one of the most memorable experiences of the entire bootcamp – the NHX networking cruise around Boracay.

As attendees boarded the yacht surrounded by the stunning white beaches and turquoise waters of Boracay Island, the energy immediately shifted from ordinary business conference to unforgettable founder experience.

The cruise featured:

• Founder networking

• Snorkeling

• Crystal kayaking

• Deck diving

• Sunset conversations

• Content creation opportunities

• Relationship building

One of the standout moments came from Nicholas Papp, founder of GHLCentral, who encouraged attendees to recognize how far they had already come as entrepreneurs.

His message – “We have arrived” – resonated deeply throughout the group.

For many founders attending the NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp, this was more than just another event. It represented the growth of the SaaS movement in the Philippines and the realization that local entrepreneurs are building world-class businesses in AI, automation, SaaS, and digital services.

The cruise set the tone perfectly for the days ahead.

Nicholas Papp and GHLCentral Capture the Energy of NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp

Throughout the event, Nicholas Papp of GHLCentral became one of the most visible content creators on site.

From livestreams directly inside the event hall to founder interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage, Nick documented the energy and momentum of the bootcamp in real time.

His consistent content creation highlighted an important lesson many attendees took away from the event:

Modern SaaS founders must build attention alongside their products.

Through daily livestreams and social content, attendees could see firsthand how documenting experiences, sharing insights, and building community online can rapidly strengthen authority and visibility in the SaaS space.

The GHLCentral presence also reinforced the growing importance of platforms like HighLevel within the SaaS and agency ecosystem.

Jay-Cee “Cece” Tan and the NHX Team Created an Unforgettable Founder Experience

At the center of the NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp was Jay-Cee “Cece” Tan, whose vision, leadership, and passion for community helped transform the event into one of the most talked-about SaaS gatherings in the Philippines.

More than just organizing a conference, Cece and the entire NextLevel HumanX (NHX) team created an experience that felt intentional, high-energy, welcoming, and genuinely founder-focused from beginning to end.

Throughout the three-day event, attendees consistently praised:

• The seamless organization

• Attention to detail

• Warm hospitality

• High-level speaker lineup

• Relaxed but productive atmosphere

• Community-driven culture

• Exceptional event flow

From the opening yacht networking session to the final luau celebration, every part of the NHX Boracay 2026 SaaS Bootcamp reflected thoughtful planning and a deep understanding of what entrepreneurs actually need from events today.

Rather than creating a rigid conference environment, Cece and her team built opportunities for:

• Real conversations

• Meaningful networking

• Tactical implementation

• Founder collaboration

• Relationship building

• Community growth

That difference mattered.

Many attendees shared that the event never felt transactional or overly corporate. Instead, it felt like being part of a growing movement of SaaS founders, builders, AI innovators, and entrepreneurs who are actively helping one another succeed.

Cece’s own sessions during the event also delivered tremendous value, particularly her “Build Your SaaS Snapshot” workshop, which helped attendees simplify and structure their SaaS offers into scalable frameworks that are easier to communicate, position, and grow.

Cece Tan’s leadership style set the tone for the entire event:

• collaborative instead of competitive

• empowering instead of exclusive

• implementation-focused instead of theory-heavy

The NHX team’s ability to combine luxury hospitality, founder education, AI innovation, networking, and unforgettable experiences in one event is a major reason attendees repeatedly described the bootcamp as “exceeding expectations.”

As the Philippines SaaS and AI ecosystem continues growing, events like NHX are becoming increasingly important in helping founders connect, learn, collaborate, and scale together.

And based on the response from attendees, it’s clear that Jay-Cee “Cece” Tan and the NHX team have built something special that will continue impacting the SaaS community long after the Boracay sunsets faded.
