ACC 2025 returns to Cebu with global telco leaders

The Asian Carriers Conference 2025 will take place from Sept. 15–19 at Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu, bringing together more than 1,000 delegates from 50 countries.

The annual event, recognized as Asia’s premier telco and ICT conference, aims to foster strategic networking, partnerships, and collaboration to drive innovation across the industry.

Organized by PLDT Global Corporation, the international arm of PLDT Inc., this year’s conference carries the theme “Shaping the Future Beyond Connectivity.”

The program will showcase how telcos are evolving beyond infrastructure into building smarter, more inclusive digital ecosystems.

Delegates can expect thought leadership sessions, bilateral meetings, workshops, and immersive networking events set in a tropical venue designed to inspire collaboration.

Philippine Airlines has been named the official airline partner for ACC 2025, offering exclusive discounts, priority bookings, and enhanced perks for delegates traveling to Cebu.

“Our longstanding collaboration with Philippine Airlines continues to bring impactful initiatives to the Filipino community, from the HK Fest 2025 in June, to working together again for Asia’s most sought-after telco and ICT event in September,” said Albert Villa-Real, President and CEO of PLDT Global.

“ACC is where the world’s telco leaders converge, and PAL’s support ensures our delegates arrive with ease and comfort. This partnership reflects our shared vision of connecting people, ideas, and opportunities,” he added.
