Saturday, June 23, 2007 6th MICT gab on Oct. 23-24
THE Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (DCCCII), the ICT Davao Inc., and the Mindanao Business Council (MinBC) have formally sealed their partnership in one of the biggest events coming this October to be held at the NCCC Convention Center in Davao City, the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress.
DCCCII Chairman Domingo Duerme, MinBC chair for special projects Antonio Santos, and Manolito Tee, president of the ICT Davao, have signed a Memorandum of Agreement Tuesday afternoon during the TechnoKapihan at the Finster Building of the Ateneo de Davao University.
DCCCII, MinBC, and ICT Davao said they will put their commitment in the activity to place the ICT industry in Davao City on top.
The event was set on October 23 to 24 and delegates from Manila and other cities in the country are expected to come.
It is also a back to back event with the first Bimp-Eaga Conference.
MinBC annually organizes the event to raise other concerns and to pursue the initiatives in the past ICT congresses. It is also initiated to provide a venue for networking, marketing, and business development and creation among ICT players; aims to enhance the human resource development program as the main requirement for business process outsourcing (BPO); and will also identify areas for collaboration in the Bimp-Eaga.
Earlier, MinBC already identified the working committee of the event. These are the steering committee, the secretariat, the program committee, the special events committee, ways and means committee, logistics committee, and the marketing and promotion/sponsorship generation committee.
Meanwhile, the first Bimp-Eaga Investment Forum was also set in October in Davao City.
Teolulo T. Pasawa, provincial director of the regional office of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), on the other hand, did not confirm where will the event would take place.
"It's either at the Davao Convention or at the Marco Polo," Pasawa said in an interview earlier. JGRS
