Busybee participates in the Asian Carriers Conference (ACC)

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



The Asian Carriers Conference (ACC) is a premier telecommunications event in Asia attended by experts from around the world and was recently held in one of the world’s most beautiful beach destinations - Boracay, an island in the western Visayas region of the Philippines. This year, Busybee had representatives attend who were able to learn about upcoming trends while making valuable relationships with professionals from top organizations, face-to-face after two years post-pandemic. In addition to informative sessions led by top minds in telecoms, there were plenty of social events allowing ample opportunity for networking among those presenters and attendees alike numbering over 1,500 delegates representing 400+ companies and 62+ countries this year alone!

Izza Nicole Arcenas, Busybee International Sales Executive had this to say about her experience at the ACC event: "I found it really helpful in gaining new connections and I learned a lot during the conference. Futurist Mike Walsh said something in his opening plenary speech that really resonated with me: 'The metaverse is not just a virtual world, it is an upgrade on today’s world.' I think that statement couldn't be more accurate given everything that's going on right now."

As telecom needs to evolve alongside technology advancements and strategies rapidly, business sectors want to stay ahead of these changes through continued collaborative dialogue. "ACC was a wonderful mixture of work and pleasure where leading telecom and ICT executives can network, stay up to date on industry trends, strengthen partnerships, and explore areas of collaboration with a cup of coffee or beer in one hand and business cards in the other. It's great exposure and a learning opportunity for growth champions like Busybee," said Ellirie Aviles, Busybee Business Office Head.

This year's ACC was especially relevant as we grappled with the new challenges of a post-COVID19 era. The conference provided invaluable opportunities to explore the latest innovations in the digital arena and uncover ways that can help us navigate this new landscape. "ACC gave us opportunities to explore more about innovation in the digital industry. It also helped us to uncover key insights in the post-pandemic world," Busybee Sales Team Lead Chien Lou Cabajes concludes in a statement.

As a VAS-licensed firm under the National Telecommunications Commission and a cybersecurity provider accredited by the Department of Information and Communications Technology, Busybee has been a leading aggregator in the Philippines trusted by enterprises and government organizations for both their local and international A2P messaging requirements.
