Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the GDI SEO Training Camp?
This was originally a day-and-a-half long training camp for GDI employees only. We decided to let 3 people sit in and we were shocked that 30+ wanted to do it. It will be a healthy mix of learning, socialization, food, swimming and hopefully, sunshine.
Who should attend it?
Digital marketing professionals, freelancers, startups, entrepreneurs and anyone interested in learning the ways of the trade.
How do I get invited?
Get invited by me or one of the people I already invited.
How do I get to the venue?
If you’re from Pampanga, you probably already know. If you’re coming in from Manila, Cebu, Mindanao or any other location outside Pampanga, it’s best to take this route:
Take a Bataan transit or Genesis bus to either Balanga or Mariveles. Both will go right through San Fernando. Just tell the conductor to drop you off at Northwalk and we’ll be there waiting with a couple of vehicles to drive you to the venue. Everyone has to be there by 8:00AM so we can start on time.
There are Genesis and Bataan transit terminals in Pasay, Cubao and Avenida.
Alternatively, you can take a Victory Liner bus in Caloocan or Cubao going to Olongapo. Those buses also pass by San Fernando. Just don’t take the ones going to SCTex.
If you’re bringing a vehicle, it will be best to meet up with the rest of the group at Northwalk.
