VSTECS chief kicks off annual tech summit

“In the ever-evolving world of technology, we are charting a course to a landscape that has seen profound advancement in recent years. It is important to understand that digital transformation is not a one event, but an ongoing journey,” said VST ECS Philippines President and CEO Jimmy Go during his opening keynote of the VST ECS CXO Innovation Summit’s sixth iteration held this year in Dusit Thani – Mactan Cebu. 

This year’s VST ECS CXO Innovation Summit, themed “Digital Transformation: Growth and Resilient Cybersecurity,” brings together industry executives, technology experts, and professionals to discuss the critical convergence of digital transformation and cybersecurity.

“Everyday, we bear witness to the unveiling of new digital technologies. In this dynamic environment, the lines between physical and digital worlds are blurring – creating a phenomenon known as ‘phygital convergence.’ Today, we stand at the threshold of a remarkable technological revolution,” he continued. 

With an emphasis on maximizing the promise of digital transformation while preserving organizational security, this conference seeks to provide delegates with the information, tactics, and best practices required to manage the complex digital world and growing cybersecurity threats.

“A mere decade ago, we were learning to communicate with machines. Today, machines understand and adapt to our language – erasing the boundaries between humans and technology,” Go remarked. 

The discussions will primarily revolve around technologies that enable digital transformation, the current cybersecurity landscape and the challenges that enterprises face, and navigating the hybrid work ecosystem – particularly in the distributed workforce space.

“While AI is currently the headline in the tech world, we must not lose sight of the critical modernization of our IT infrastructure. This is pivotal in allowing organizations to embrace the latest technologies and trends, including multi-clouds, quantum computing, data explosion, RPA, generative AI, and more.”

The conference is an invitation-only event for C-level executives and those with equivalent positions and titles. This provides a high-quality audience of top-level decision-makers driving digital change within their enterprises.
