OCCONNECT 2026
connect

recharge
13 - 17 May 2026
Join us in Boracay to connect, learn together, and recharge in one of the world’s most stunning islands.
connect, learn, and recharge
I’ve been wanting to do this for years.
OCConnect 2026 is our first-ever client retreat in Boracay, five days designed to make your virtual world real.
You’ll finally meet and work alongside your VA, connect with other women in business, join practical workshops with guest experts, and enjoy a 30-minute branding photoshoot with behind-the-scenes videos.
Imagine travelling with a local, hidden beaches, authentic food, and experiences you’d never find on your own, plus a luxury spa treatment (or two) to fully recharge.
And because it’s Boracay, there’s plenty of time to slow down, white sand, turquoise water, incredible food, and sunsets that remind you why you started this journey in the first place.

a note from your host, michelle
I’ve wanted to make this happen for a long time — a chance for you to finally meet your Virtual Assistant face-to-face. So much of our work happens behind screens, and while it’s effective, it’s not the same as sitting together, sharing a meal, or planning side by side.
That’s why I created OCConnect 2026, five days in Boracay for you and your VA to work together, learn from brilliant guest experts, and hang out with other women who truly get what it’s like to run a business like yours.
We’ve planned it so you’ll experience the Philippines like a local, right here on stunning Boracay Island. Hidden spots, authentic food, and a touch of luxury so you can actually rest and recharge. You’ll go home with stronger relationships, fresh ideas, and the kind of memories that change how you work together forever.
I can’t wait to see you in the Philippines,
Michelle

Most guests will fly internationally into Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila. Your retreat package includes the domestic return flight from Manila to Caticlan Airport (Boracay), which is the closest airport to the island.
