In the time of rapid digital transformation, PLDT Enterprise has been leading the conversation in promoting technology trends, emerging innovations, and insights to help businesses pivot and prosper in the digital age. This is the spirit behind the Philippine Digital Convention 2022 (PH Digicon 2022), the country’s most prestigious and one of the most sought-after digital thought leadership events in Asia Pacific, which recently bagged a coveted Gold Award on Innovation in Business-to-Business Events, at the 2023 Asia-Pacific Stevies®.

The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the only business awards program to recognize innovation in the workplace in all 29 nations of the Asia-Pacific region.

“We are truly honored to be recognized by the 2023 Asia-Pacific Stevies® as among the world’s best. PLDT Enterprise will continue to innovate, evolve, and adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. We are optimistic that through our relevant offerings and services, including our annual PH Digicon event, we will stay ahead of the curve and provide exceptional value to Philippine businesses,” said PLDT and Smart First Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International Business Groups, Mitch Locsin, who was also feted with a Silver Stevie®, under the Thought Leader of The Year category.

The highly anticipated PH Digicon brought together industry experts, business leaders, and key opinion shapers to explore the boundless possibilities of virtual spaces. Similar to previous years, the plenary sessions tackled 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.

With the theme “Boundless,” the hybrid PH Digicon also featured high-level keynote presentations, panel discussions, and insight-sharing from global thought leaders, including the event’s headline speaker NBA Hall of Famer, businessman, and philanthropist, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who shared secrets to the success of his enterprises especially in the digital age.

The Stevie Awards are widely considered to be the world's premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programs such as The International Business Awards® for 21 years. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the winners will be celebrated during a virtual awards ceremony on 27 June.
