ACC 2025 will return to Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu from Sept. 15 to 19, bringing together more than 1,000 delegates from 50 countries to discuss the role of telecommunications beyond connectivity.

The annual event, organized by PLDT Global Corp. (PLDT Global), the international arm of PLDT Inc., will feature talks from industry leaders, bilateral meetings, workshops, and networking activities. This year’s theme, “Shaping the Future Beyond Connectivity,” highlights the shift of telcos from infrastructure providers to builders of digital ecosystems.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has been named the official airline partner of the five-day conference. Delegates flying with PAL will receive discounted fares, priority bookings, and other travel perks.

“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.”

“We are honored to be the airline of choice for ACC 2025. This partnership underscores our commitment to supporting industries that move the world forward and showcase the flag carrier’s trademark heartfelt service. We look forward to flying delegates to Cebu and being part of this transformative event,” said Alvin Miranda, vice president for Marketing of PAL.

ACC has been recognized internationally, receiving the Silver Award for Excellence in B2B Marketing in the Philippines at the Marketing Excellence Awards and being named a finalist for Best B2B Event in Singapore. The 2025 program will include sessions on human-centered innovation, digital transformation, and inclusive connectivity.
