gDays Dagupan Agenda

This season's most anticipated event full of tech and learning is happening on May 2, 2014!

gDays Dagupan is a whole day event, brought to you by GBG Dagupan and GBG Pangasinan, supported by Google and the Information and Communications Office of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ICTO).

gDays Dagupan offers two different tracks. The first of which is the SME+Tourism+Government Track, which deals with leveraging on online tools to help you better operate, market, and promote your business, organization, or community.

The second track, the ICT+Startups Track, works with the DOST-ICTO at the backbone, providing developers and IT practitioners with the necessary training to build their own startup company and delve into the world of entrepreneurship - a current global trend.

Google Student Ambassador Program Q&A

Hello, college and university students!

Do you wish to learn and try out the latest of Google's technologies and programs? Do you enjoy meeting new interesting and equally awesome people? Do you want to "do cool things that matter"?

Then become a Google Student Ambassador for your school!

The Google Student Ambassador Program is an opportunity for students to act as the main connection between Google and their respective schools. They try out new technologies, organize tech events inside their campus, and even participate in international conferences!
