“Vision”

With the theme of “VISION”, this year’s PH Digicon aims to empower tomorrow’s tech titans and enterprises, ignite future-forward thinking, explore cutting-edge technologies, and inspire leaders and business owners to drive success in the evolving business landscape.
“This theme aligns perfectly with our overall VISIONARIES brand campaign of inspiring visionary leadership and innovative thinking, which are essential for navigating the digital landscape,” said Chet Alviz, PLDT Enterprise Vice President, and Head of Wireless Marketing for Enterprise and International Business Groups.

“What we always strive for is really building around trust, because there’s really no digital transformation to talk about without trust. So we spend time with the customer and really make sure that we work with each other to actually come up with these new solutions that we bring forward to them that helps them,” added Mitch L. Locsin, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International Business Groups of PLDT and Smart, during a media launch ahead of the event. “With that, we also want them to promote what we’ve done with them. So they become visionaries in their own right, in their own industries. Hence, visionaries.”
