The objective is to bring together ICT4D experts, practitioners, business leaders and stakeholders onto one platform, through keynote addresses, paper presentations, thematic workshops, exhibition while providing in the process an opportunity for participants to interact with a wide and diverse development community, to carry forward the vision of the region and consolidate them into an actionable programme. Particular to this year's Conference, one new theme is added focusing on ‘Municipal IT’.
