Attended by almost 1,500 delegates from 45 countries representing nearly 500 companies, the 10th ACC is expected to surpass last year’s turnout.
“When ACC was first convened in 2005, we had 195 delegates representing 33 companies. The number of attendees has been increasing since then. In 2013, after nine years, our numbers rose up to almost 1,500. This year, as we celebrate the ACC’s 10th anniversary, we expect to top last year’s attendance,” said PLDT Executive Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International & Carrier Business Ernesto R. Alberto, who will open the conference and welcome the delegates to the event with its theme “Discover the Future of Telecom Carriers.”
Providing a venue for industry leaders to discuss and share the latest technologies and breakthroughs in telecommunications, ICT, and related industries, the ACC brings together delegates from the wholesale fixed and mobile telecom carriers, network and infrastructure providers, applications and service developers, handset and equipment manufacturers, and entertainment and content distributors around the world.
Leading the speakers in the 10th ACC Plenary Session is IBM’s Chief Scientist Jeff Jonas who will talk about “Big Data, New Physics, and Geospatial Super-Food.” Joining him are Maria Ressa, Rappler CEO & Executive Editor, on the topic “Big Data Analytics on Customer Engagement,” and Vic Bozzo, Telarix SVP for Worldwide Sales and Marketing, on “Retail, Wholesale and OTT Using OSS/BSS To Do Interconnect Sharing Agreements.”
“The ACC has become the conference of choice for many attendees because of its impressive line-up of speakers in the plenary and the various workshops, as well as the valuable bilateral meetings where delegates gain new business partners, knowledge and insights on the latest trends in the industry,” Alberto explained.
PLDT International & Carrier Business Head and PLDT Global Corporation President & CEO Alejandro O. Caeg added that, “The ACC is a much-anticipated event for delegates from the carriers and related fields because it combines learning and networking opportunities with fun and exciting social activities, as well as excellent accommodations in Mactan, Cebu’s finest hotels.”
