HACKTHENORTH.PH · TCON9 · Every-Other-Day Posting Plan

The Posting Calendar

Every posting day from September 6 to November 28, with the finished caption for each one. Post on the date, paste the copy, attach the graphic described in the note. No planning required between now and the event.

Cadence Every other dayTotal posts 46Promo ends Sep 30, 11:59 PMSpeaker embargo Until Sep 27Event Nov 27–28, 2026

The Rhythm

One feed post every other day on even dates. Sep 6, 8, 10, and onward. The rhythm lands two critical days exactly on schedule: Sep 30 (promo deadline) and Nov 27 (Day 1). Only Nov 28 is an added post.

Between the Posts

On non-posting days run Stories only: First 50 counter updates, countdown stickers, reshares of comments and tags. Stories cost nothing to make and keep the account active daily.

Timing

Post 7–9 PM. Highest engagement window for Philippine audiences. Schedule the whole month in Meta Business Suite in one sitting rather than posting manually.

Bracketed Fields

Anything in [brackets] needs your real number, name, or detail before posting. Never invent a seat count, credible scarcity requires true figures.

September

Campaign starts Sep 6 with 24 days left on the SepTEAMber Group Sale, posting every other day through Sep 14. Sep 16 and Sep 18–20 were skipped, so the rest of the month runs daily starting Sep 21 to fit the remaining tiers, sponsor, ROOTCON, speaker, and deadline content into the runway to Sep 30. The ROOTCON embargo (Sep 23–25) holds speaker content until Sep 26, which then doubles as a 4-days-left urgency post. Deadline day falls last.

Sep 9Wed 9.9 Raffle: Win a TCON9 Hoodie FB / IG First 50
9.9 RAFFLE
𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕹𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍 𝖗𝖊𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖉𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖋𝖆𝖎𝖙𝖍𝖋𝖚𝖑. 🧥 9.9 RAFFLE: one lucky delegate wins a FREE TCON9 hoodie. The mechanics could not be simpler. Every registrant fully paid by September 18 automatically gets one raffle entry. No forms to fill, no tagging, no sharing required. Pay for your seat and you are in the draw. Already registered but not yet paid? Complete your payment on or before September 18 and your entry counts too. 📅 Raffle period: September 9–18, 2026 🎲 Draw: September 19, 2026. Winner announced on this page. Two deadlines, one smart move: ✅ Fully paid by SEPTEMBER 18: you get your seat, a raffle entry for the hoodie, and a shot at the 50 limited-edition kits ⏳ Paid September 19–30: you still get the ₱5,000 squad rate (5+ pax) and can claim a kit while stocks last, but the hoodie draw will be done Paying early costs nothing extra. Waiting costs you the hoodie. 📖 Full SepTEAMber Group Sale guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1JiN4dRz4E/ 🗓️ November 27–28, 2026 📍 Hotel Supreme Convention Plaza, Baguio City 🔗 tcon.hackthenorth.ph #TCON9 #HackTheNorthPH #CyberSecurityPH #BaguioCity
Note: Use a photo of the actual hoodie (the black one with the embroidered HACK THE NORTH logo from the merch shoot). This post is a payment-collection lever with a hard date: the 16 unpaid registrants now have until Sep 18 to settle and still win something. Sep 19 is an off-day on the calendar, so announce the winner there as a Story or a short bonus post; drawing it live on Facebook is even better. Since entry comes with a purchase, check whether a DTI permit is needed before posting.
Sep 10Thu SepTEAMber Sale Exclusive: The 50 Kits FB / IG First 50
𝕬 𝕾𝖊𝖕𝕿𝕰𝕬𝕸𝖇𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖝𝖈𝖑𝖚𝖘𝖎𝖛𝖊. 🎁 Only fifty were forged. Complete your payment this September and claim a limited-edition HACKTHENORTH.PH kit. ⚫ Matte black rune notebook with the TCON9 insignia 🖊️ Limited-edition HTN pen Only 50 kits exist. Not sold anywhere. Not restocked. When the crate is empty, it's empty. Registration alone doesn't claim one. Payment does. First paid, first served. 💥 Squads of 5+ still pay ₱5,000 each until Sep 30, and every paid squad member claims a kit while stocks last. 🗓️ November 27–28, 2026 📍 Hotel Supreme Convention Plaza, Baguio City 🔗 tcon.hackthenorth.ph #TCON9 #HackTheNorthPH #CyberSecurityPH #BaguioCity
Note: Use the real merch flat-lay photo. Actual product beats mockups. The scarcity is the 50 kits, not a registrant count, so there is no public number that could expose slow sales. If you later want a counter, count DOWN ('[X] kits left') and only start once at least 10 are gone. Decide internally whether the 4 who paid before September also get kits (recommended: yes, quietly).
Sep 12Sat Solo? We'll Pool You Into a Squad FB / IG SepTEAMber Sale
𝕹𝖔 𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗 𝖋𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖘 𝖆𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖊. Coming alone but still want the ₱5,000 rate? We've got you. Solo registrants can request to be pooled with other solo warriors to form a squad of 5. Same rules, same price, plus a new crew of allies before you even arrive. 🤝 Slots are subject to availability, so raise your shield early. 📧 Email tcon@hackthenorth.ph, subject: "TCON9 Solo Pooling" 🗓️ November 27–28, 2026 📍 Hotel Supreme Convention Plaza, Baguio City From the community, by the community, for the community. 🔗 tcon.hackthenorth.ph #TCON9 #HackTheNorthPH #CyberSecurityPH #BaguioCity

Sep 14Mon Agencies & Companies: Pay Later FB / IG Agency / LGU
BOOST
𝕿𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖌𝖚𝖆𝖗𝖉𝖎𝖆𝖓𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖑𝖒. Government agencies and companies, this one's for you. 🏛️ We know procurement takes time. That's why there's a PAY-LATER track: 📄 Submit a Letter of Intent / Request for Billing signed by your agency head before September 30, stating: • Number of registrants (min. 5) and their names • Commitment to pay • Target payment date 📑 We issue a Statement of Account / Billing Invoice for your internal processing. 💰 Settle on or before November 20, 2026. Your ₱5,000 rate is locked the moment your letter is in, even if the money moves later. 📧 tcon@hackthenorth.ph 🔗 tcon.hackthenorth.ph #TCON9 #HackTheNorthPH #CyberSecurityPH #GovTech
Note: Put ad budget behind this one. Target LGU and agency employees in CAR, Region 1, Region 2. One agency = 5–20 seats, and the pay-later track removes their only real objection.

Oct 30Fri Valhalla Is Filling: D-28 FB / IG VIP / After Party
𝕺𝖓𝖑𝖞 𝖘𝖔 𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖞 𝖘𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖘 𝖆𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖍𝖎𝖌𝖍 𝖙𝖆𝖇𝖑𝖊. 🍻 VIP passes are limited by design. Priority seating, the meet & greet, and the after party only work at a certain size. ᛟ Valhalla Access (Pro VIP). ₱8,500 ᚢ Bifrost Access (Student VIP). ₱7,500 If you want the after party and face time with the speakers, upgrade before the VIP block closes. Already registered as standard? Email us, upgrading takes one message. 📧 tcon@hackthenorth.ph 🔗 tcon.hackthenorth.ph #TCON9 #HackTheNorthPH #CyberSecurityPH #BaguioCity
Note: Also target existing standard registrants. An upgrade is easier to sell than a new seat, and VIP margin funds the after party.

November

Final push, then service. The program drops, the lineup completes, then content shifts to logistics for people already coming. Which reduces no-shows and produces the live coverage that sells TCON10.
