ICT Expo, Ireland’s annual Information and Communications Technology event, is scheduled for April 13th & 14th at the RDS Main Hall. As the country’s largest annual showcase for the latest in information and communications technology, ICT Expo attracts more than 5,000 visitors. Since its formation in 2001 as a result of the merger of the Comms Show & e-XPO, business computer users and technical professionals have come to regard ICT Expo as a key evaluation point that assists them in the effective implementation of information and communications technology in the corporate, small business and public sectors.
The theme of this year’s event ‘Doing more with less’, will be reflected in the exhibits, free visitor seminar programme, ICT Excellence Awards and keynote conference. For the first time the keynote National ICT Conference, in association with the Irish Computer Society, will run as four separate tracks over the two day event split into short half day sessions titled ‘ICT in the Public Sector’, ‘ICT in the Healthcare’, ICT in Training’ and ‘ICT in Sales’.
‘Doing more with less’ is the catchphrase as this timely event catches the mood of the industry with delegates discovering how the experts are aligning vital ICT objectives with business strategies & demands, coping with the joint challenges of maintaining competitive edge while keeping a lid on ICT costs.
Other features at this year’s event include the Open Expo LinuxWorld Conference and Open Ireland Pavilion where you can evaluate the open source alternative first hand, as well as the ICS Skills Showcase, the IIA Internet Innovators Pavilion and the fifth annual ICT Excellence Awards; participants this year include Cable & Wireless, Intel, Nortel, Vodafone, Dell, Oracle, Microsoft and IBM.
According to Mark Egan, Director of ICT Events: ‘ICT Expo is designed to provide a stimulating and informative environment that will enable visitors from the corporate and public sectors to small businesses to keep up-to-date on the latest trends and issues evolving in the IT, telecoms and networking industry. Visitors will leave this event with a better understanding of the shape of tomorrow’s business and technology environment.’
Frank Quinn, publisher of ComputerScope, echoed this stating: ‘ICT Expo provides the ideal platform for Ireland’s ICT professionals to gather and share best practices. Whether visitors are interested in strategic management issues or more technical advice they will gain the knowledge required to deal with today’s current ICT and business challenges.’
ICT Expo is organised by a joint venture between the publishers of ComputerScope and Irish Computer magazines and is supported by The Irish Computer Society, Irish Internet Association, ICT Ireland, Irish Software Association and Enterprise Ireland. For more information visit www.ictexpo.ie today.
