Digital Transformation Summit, Philippines, June 16

With the backdrop of the COVID-19 crisis, there is increased pressure for digital transformation to accelerate in many Southeast Asian organisations. Southeast Asia is undergoing a rapid and unprecedented digital transformation, fueled by rising consumer classes, a thriving start-up sector, low-cost and easily accessible devices, and young, tech-savvy populations that have embraced e-commerce and social media. Southeast Asia is being transformed by a digital wave.

Despite all of this excitement, most businesses have yet to embrace digital strategies at the same rate as the general population. In other words, technology’s full potential as a driver of private-sector growth is not being realised. More than 250 CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, and heads of digital transformation, IT infrastructure, cyber security, and information and communication technologies will attend the Digital Transformation Summit.
