With the emergence and prevalence of digital transformation, PLDT Enterprise established the Philippine Digital convention in 2014 as a medium through which global industry mavens, thought leaders, and pioneers in technology could come together to help drive technological enablement among enterprises throughout the country, and region.
For the past eight years, the convention has attracted C-level executives, business owners, and key decision makers with its feature of ground-breaking technology insights, exhibitions, and live demonstrations from esteemed business influencers and experts from all over the world—allowing it to ultimately grow into the Philippines’ biggest and most prestigious digital thought leadership event.
With the return of physical events, PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of PLDT, Inc. (PLDT), the leading telecommunications and digital, brings back the Philippine Digital Convention (PH Digicon), via its first hybrid event, to be held at Marriott Grand Ballroom and broadcast live to a virtual platform. It is poised to attract more than 10,000 delegates from around the world in its two-day run.
To kick off the country’s most prestigious and one of the most sought-after thought leadership events in the Asia-Pacific Region, PLDT held a media launch last October 19 at the Smart Tower in Makati City. The press conference was simultaneously live streamed via Cisco Webex and introduced an impressive lineup of speakers including PLDT Group Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan along with other PLDT and Smart executives: President and CEO Al S. Panlilio; Chief Commercial and Information Advisor Noel C. Lorenzana; SVP and Head of Enterprise and International Business Groups Jojo G. Gendrano; and ePLDT President and CEO Viboy S. Genuino.
They were joined by Nokia PH Country Head Carlos Reyes; Cisco PH Managing Director Zaza Soriano Nicart, FiberHome Marketing Director Spark Zhang; Palo Alto Networks PH Country Systems Engineering Manager Jobert David; and Google Cloud PH & VN Country Manager Malis Selamat. Not to be missed is the Q&A session to be moderated by PLDT Group’s Cathy Y. Yang.
