THE 1ST ORO DIGIARTS FEST

The City Government of Cagayan de Oro is a longtime advocate of the creative industries. This event highlights the growing but largely unmined local digital creative sector by:

  • Bringing together the various clusters of the creative industries in Cagayan de Oro;
  • Connecting them to the local business community and education sector, as well as domestic and international networks; and
  • Positioning Cagayan de Oro as a major hub of the creative industry.
