The officials of the city government of Butuan led by Mayor Ronnie Vicente C. Lagnada, will welcome the delegates from the different parts of the country and guests from foreign countries, on March 21-22, 2019.
The congress is organized by the PPDCI and co-hosted by COPDCI and DTI-Caraga region.

The 11th NPOC is a biennial nationwide major event of the industry sector that serves as a venue of convergence among stakeholders in discussing updates on the Philippine palm oil industry, Director Pagaran said.
As with the previous editions of the congress, it will feature key development initiatives (by relevant agencies), technological advances, financing programs, and domestic and global trends and prospects, he said.
