Digicon 2023

HIDDEN AGENDA - Mary Ann LL. Reyes - The Philippine Star

In an age defined by the rapid pace of technological evolution and increased interconnectedness, digital transformation emerges as the linchpin of business survival, growth and innovation. It transcends the mere act of adopting the latest digital tools; it is a holistic metamorphosis that touches every facet of an organization, from its core operations and customer interactions to its culture and value proposition.

As brick-and-mortar stores give way to e-commerce giants, and as manual processes are overshadowed by intelligent automation, it’s evident that the future belongs to those who can seamlessly merge their business strategies with digital imperatives. The significance of digital transformation is not just about staying relevant; it’s about reimagining the future, fostering resilience, and unlocking unprecedented opportunities in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

This is the spirit and driving force behind the Philippine Digital Convention 2023, the country’s most prestigious and one of the most sought-after digital thought leadership events in Asia Pacific.

Every year during the highly anticipated PH Digicon, the event brings together industry experts, business leaders and key opinion shapers to explore the boundless possibilities of virtual spaces.

Like in previous years, the plenary sessions will tackle the infinite potential of enterprises in a redefined digital universe; transformational leadership as the core of successful digitalization; and insights on new business models, strategies, and predictions on the future of business and technology.

PH Digicon 2023, the most anticipated digital thought leadership event in the Philippines, hosted by PLDT Enterprise, and all it has to offer, is happening on Oct. 12-13 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, with this year’s event promising to be a transformative experience, aimed at empowering enterprises of all sizes and industries to embrace future-forward thinking and cutting-edge technologies.

PLDT Enterprise is the corporate business arm of PLDT, the leading telecommunications and digital services provider in the Philippines. Dedicated to delivering innovative fixed-line, wireless, and ICT solutions, PLDT Enterprise enables businesses to adapt to evolving technological needs, optimize efficiency, continuity, and connectivity, and enhance customer experience.

This year’s event will carry the theme “Vision” as it seeks to inspire visionary leaders, business owners, and professionals to drive success in an ever-evolving business landscape by exploring the intersection of humanity and technology.

Participants can look forward to an innovation showcase, as they will be able to witness groundbreaking innovations at the PLDT and Smart Innovation Challenge, where the top 10 startups will present redesigned solutions and prototypes using IoT, AI, 5G and automation.

Attendees will be able to experience the immersive Digi Grounds, a meticulously crafted space designed to captivate and immerse participants, providing a dynamic journey like never before.

Convention-goers will also be able to explore the creative booths of the MVP Group and its esteemed technology partners and sponsors at the Digi Booths, showcasing the forefront of digital advancements. This will be perfect for those searching for the latest cutting-edge technologies.

Participants also have the chance to engage in essential partnerships and discussions focused on stakeholder management and sustainability at the Digi Hub.

Then there is the SME Area, featuring MSME booths and exclusive mentoring sessions with experienced business experts, aimed at inspiring and supporting entrepreneurial visions.

Day 1 will be dedicated to plenary sessions featuring high-level keynote presentations, panel discussions, and insights from headline speakers, including global thought leader Simon Sinek, while Day 2 will have PLDT and Smart Innovation Challenge showcasing top 10 startups in action. There will be a Tech Leadership Forum highlighting key technology trends and industry advancements. There will also be a Networking Night to broaden connections and interact with fellow delegates, speakers and sponsors.

Overall, PH Digicon 2023 is a must-attend event for anyone looking to be at the forefront of technological innovation and digital transformation. With PLDT Enterprise’s reputation as a thought leader in the industry and an impressive lineup of speakers, immersive experiences, and networking opportunities, this event promises to redefine the digital landscape.

PLDT continues with its mission of digital transformation, as it innovates, evolves, and adapts to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. Through the company’s relevant offerings and services, PLDT is expected to stay ahead of the curve and provide exceptional value to Philippine businesses.

PH Digicon 2022 recently won the coveted Gold Award on Innovation in Business-to-Business Events at the 2023 Asia-Pacific Stevies. Last year’s Digicon was attended by over 2,700 local and international delegates, including 700 C-level executives and entrepreneurs. It featured 2,200 participating companies, 23 sponsors, and more than 80 thought leaders and industry experts. This year, PH Digicon is set to raise the bar even higher.
