Back-to-back gold: PH Digicon 2023 VISION: Reimagine Tomorrow’s Enterprise
The flagship innovation conference PH Digicon 2023 VISION: Reimagine Tomorrow’s Enterprise took home the Gold Stevie Award for Innovation in Digital Transformation, marking the second consecutive year the event has earned top honors. Gathering thousands of industry leaders, global tech giants, MSMEs, and public sector partners, PH Digicon has become the premier stage for showcasing digital trends, business transformation, and real-world tech solutions.
During PH Digicon 2023, PLDT Enterprise deepened its relevance to Filipino businesses by bringing to life immersive sessions focused on AI, cybersecurity, connectivity, and digital resiliency. By continuing to evolve and grow in scale, the event reinforces PLDT Enterprise’s role as an enabler of innovation across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Notably, PH Digicon 2023 was specifically designed to be inclusive and accessible, welcoming not just C-Level executives and business leaders, but also students, start-ups, MSMEs, tech enthusiasts, and representatives from local government units (LGUs). This approach enabled diverse voices to take part in shaping the digital future of the Philippines, and underscored PLDT Enterprise’s belief that innovation should empower all sectors of society.
In addition to its expansive plenary sessions, PH Digicon 2023 VISION featured a dynamic lineup of breakout sessions, Tech Leadership Forums, and innovation showcases that catered to customers across various industries and enterprise sizes. From large-scale corporations locally and globally to MSMEs and public sector organizations, attendees were able to engage directly with global thought leaders, explore innovative solutions, and access curated discussions tailored to their specific digital transformation needs. The event’s inclusive programming was designed to inspire collaboration, spark conversation, and empower every kind of enterprise—reinforcing PLDT Enterprise’s commitment to enabling success at every scale.
Bronze for MSME Day: A nationwide call to empower
PLDT Enterprise also won a Bronze Stevie on Innovation in Business-to-Business Events for its MSME Day initiative, a nationwide effort that brings the power of digital solutions to the country’s backbone businesses—micro, small, and medium enterprises.
With events staged in cities and provinces across the Philippines, MSME Day made digital transformation more accessible through free consultations, industry talks, and technology showcases. It proved that visibility, proximity, and personal connection remain vital to helping local businesses grow in the digital economy.
The initiative officially kicked off in Iloilo and continued its regional rollout through key MSME hubs in Dipolog and Pampanga—bringing PLDT Enterprise’s support directly to the doorsteps of entrepreneurs and local business communities across the country.
Bronze for ROI’d to Success: Showcasing MSME wins
Rounding out the honors is a Bronze Stevie on Innovation for Brand Entertainment for ROI’d to Success, a campaign that amplified the voices of MSMEs who have embraced PLDT Enterprise’s solutions to scale, streamline, and serve customers better.
Through real success stories, ROI’d to Success became a platform to inspire other entrepreneurs and prove that investments in digital innovation translate to tangible gains—whether in revenue, reach, or resilience.
Hosted in partnership with respected journalist Karen Davila, the campaign fueled additional credibility and reach for the stories it told. It featured a range of inspiring MSMEs including Nomad Café, L.A. Bakeshop, and Sta. Ana Healthcare Plus Corporation, each sharing how PLDT Enterprise’s digital solutions helped them scale their operations and reach new markets. These stories showcased the real-world results of transformation, delivered by trusted Filipino brands.
At the heart of ROI’d to Success is the belief that big wins often start small—with a single step toward digitalization, the right technology partner, and a vision for growth. By sharing real stories of MSMEs that began with modest resources but scaled their operations through smart, strategic investments, the campaign underscores how PLDT Enterprise plays a vital role in unlocking potential. These stories serve as proof that with the right tools and support, even the smallest enterprises can grow into influential players in their industries.
Building a legacy of winning and elevating the nation
Together, these awards capture PLDT Enterprise’s broader mission: to enable business success through technology, foster inclusive growth, and build a digitally empowered future for the Philippines.
“We share these wins with every customer who has trusted us on their transformation journey. Whether they’re already a large enterprise in the Philippines, an emerging MSME, large businesses, or a global enterprise, our role remains the same—be a partner committed to their success,” Alviz added.
For PLDT Enterprise, being recognized on an international stage is not just a milestone—it's motivation to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation, relevance, and service excellence.
