Conferences are all about food, food, and more food.

I’m at Cebu right now, staying at the Shangri-La Mactan Hotel. As a guest of Globe Telecommunications, I’ve been invited to witness ICT 2007. The conference starts tomorrow and will take up the better part of the day till Wednesday. I will be staying in Cebu from Monday to Thursday.

I’m planning on live-blogging the event depending on the available wireless connection. I heard Aileen Apolo will be around too as a panelist. I brought along the Nokia N95 so I’ll also try to do some mobile podcasting / video feeds. Wish me luck.

We spent the better part of the evening having dinner at Acqua and drinks at Cowrie Cove, a neat bar overlooking the ocean. We retired early as the conference begins at 9:00 AM. Unfortunately, GMA (our country’s president) is out of town and will not be able to deliver the key not. Instead, Steve Jobs will come and talk about the iPhone that’s supposed to launch this Friday.

Some speakers to note would be Christopher Beshouri, President of McKinsey & Company Philippines. He will talk about Opportunities and Threats for Asia’s Emerging ITES Industry. There’s Fostering and Funding Asian Innovation by Lawrence Hughes, Founder of Infoweapons.
