How quantum technology can be used to share information, measure physical changes, and protect data will be among the topics at QISTCon.PH 2026 in Cebu City on Nov. 9-11.
The Quantum Innovation, Science, and Technology Conference in the Philippines will bring together researchers, teachers, business leaders, and policymakers. Participants will discuss developments in quantum technology, ways to teach it, and opportunities to work together.
The event begins Nov. 9 with sessions on specific topics to help participants prepare for the main conference. Organizers said more details on these sessions would be announced separately.
On Nov. 10, talks and panel discussions will cover quantum trends and cooperation among groups working in the field. Topics include quantum communication, which uses quantum science to transfer information, and quantum sensing, which uses it to take precise measurements.
The Nov. 11 sessions will focus on protecting digital systems against threats from quantum computers, teaching quantum science, and explaining it to the public. Participants will also work in groups to discuss ideas and possible joint efforts.
The conference will give participants a chance to meet others from schools, businesses, research institutions, and government agencies. Students and anyone curious about quantum technology are also welcome.
Event partners include the University of San Carlos (USC), DOST Central Visayas (Department of Science and Technology Region VII), Open Quantum Institute (OQI), SpinQ Technology Inc., and Quantum Scouts.
