Novaluxia PH Was a Sponsor at REPH 2026, Shangri-La The Fort

Novaluxia PH was a sponsor at REPH 2026. Put plainly: the platform's name is on the printed sponsors' board outside Bonifacio Hall at Shangri-La The Fort, grouped with Twilio and vCeed, on 10 September 2026 in Bonifacio Global City.

That is the part worth keeping: a sponsor line on the event's own board, not a badge or a lanyard.

The board outside Bonifacio Hall#

The board stands at the door of Bonifacio Hall, which is where the day's sessions ran. It carries the sponsors of the Retail & E-Commerce Innovation Marketing & Tech Summit Philippines 2026, known to everyone at the venue by its tag, #REPH2026.

Three names sit together on that panel: Novaluxia, Twilio and vCeed. We photographed it because a sponsor board is one of the few pieces of event material that cannot be edited after the fact. It was printed before the doors opened, carried to the venue, and still standing there when we walked in.

What is Novaluxia doing on a sponsor board?#

Short answer: the platform's business is retail and e-commerce, and REPH 2026 is where the retail and e-commerce industry spent the day. Novaluxia is a social e-commerce platform built around group buying, points and community, with 105+ merchant partners, 3M+ group-buy sales and 99% positive feedback behind it.

A summit like this puts merchants, brands, platforms and the agencies that serve them in one building. Sponsoring it is a different move from attending it. A delegate buys a seat. A sponsor puts the brand into the event itself: the board at the door, the screen during the sessions, the material people carry home.

If you are new to the platform altogether, the plain version of what Novaluxia is covers the business and the local history. This post is the shorter claim: the platform put its name on the wall.

The roundtable moderators slide#

Roundtables are the part of a conference where the big room breaks into smaller tables, and each table gets a moderator to keep the conversation honest. REPH 2026 put its moderator line-up on a slide: Roundtable Moderators, names down the screen.

The Novaluxia mark sits in the top-left corner of that slide.

That detail is small and it is the most interesting one in this dispatch. A logo on a door banner is a sponsorship benefit. The mark on the working slide goes further: organisers put that slide up while roundtable assignments were being read out. Nobody stages a photo of a projector screen mid-session. We took it because it was up there.

Inside the ballroom#

The panel sessions ran in the ballroom. It is a hotel ballroom in the usual sense: high ceiling, chandeliers, a low stage, and rows of chairs that go all the way to the back wall. By the time registration emptied, the room was full, which is the real measure of whether an event's topic list is right.

Panels are where the industry says its own name out loud. Somebody from a brand says what they are testing, somebody from a platform says what merchants keep asking for, and the room takes notes. Retail and e-commerce in the Philippines is a small world, so a lot of the questions in the Q&A came from people who already knew each other. Sit in a ballroom long enough and you remember the small things: which door you came in through, where you left your bag, and who was still standing at the end.

Registration, and the rest of the room#

Registration is the honest part of any summit. Nobody is performing yet. People queue for a badge, read the board while they wait, and start the first conversation with whoever is standing next to them. We watched that queue for a while.

This photo is two attendees at the registration area, lanyards on, one holding a phone, both still deciding which session to walk into. A photo like this ends up explaining more about an event than a stage shot ever does. People came, they wore the badge, and they talked to each other between rooms.

The date and the venue#

Write these three lines down, because they are the ones that are easy to mix up later:

The event name in full is the Retail & E-Commerce Innovation Marketing & Tech Summit Philippines 2026. Everyone shortened it to REPH 2026, and that is the tag the platform's own posts used alongside #DigitalInnovation and #techsummit.

September was not the platform's only month on the road. August had the retail expo at the SMX Convention Center, covered in our NRCE 2026 dispatch, and the whole year from the brand site launch in August 2025 onward is laid out in the 2026 public record. Sponsorship at REPH 2026 goes into that list with the date beside it.
