About Us

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) leads the month-long celebration, and encourages the active participation of government, ICT sectoral organizations, and industry partners. A strong partnership among the DICT, the Chief Information Officers’ Forum (CIOF), and the Chief Information Officers’ Forum Foundation (CIOFF) had been established – together with Spark (formerly CIO Academy Asia Pacific), resulting in the conduct of the collaborative annual The National ICT Summit 2024 (NICT Summit 2024) as a major and/or culminating event of the National ICT Month (NICTM).

Consistent with NICTM 2024 theme “Bayang Digital Bagong Pilipinas”, the theme of the NICT Summit 2024 is “Digital Governance: Navigating the Future”, that seeks to highlight the launching of the CIO Council and the Sectoral and Industry Task Forces. This will also situate the government strategic ICT plans and achievements, as well as the current and emerging ICT solutions. The Summit will be an opportunity for ICT stakeholders in government and in the private sector to consolidate and continue fostering a culture of innovation and empowerment to sustain the digital transformation efforts. Government strategic plans, programs and achievements in the national and in the local governments, and immerging technology strategies, will also be featured; and for the first time participate in the “Southeast Asia Technology Outlook 2024” segment by Spark partner based in Singapore.
