eINDIA 2009
Event Info
Description
India's Largest event on Information and Communication
Technologies
This three-day international conference and
exhibition is a unique platform for knowledge sharing in different domains of
ICT for development and facilitates multi-stakeholder partnerships and
networking among governments, industry, academia and civil society organisations
of different countries, including the host country- India. The objective is to
bring together ICT experts, practitioners, business leaders and stakeholders of
the region onto one platform, through keynote addresses, paper presentations,
thematic workshops and exhibitions. In short, the event provides an excellent
opportunity for participants to interact with a wide and diverse development
community.
The event will
allow people and organisations working in apparently isolated domains of ICTD,
to engage in mutual experience sharing and enable them to build an understanding
of convergent issues in development. The eINDIA platform has brought together
experts not only from India and Asia, but also from other continents, including
Africa, Latin America, Europe and North America. The cross-country sharing of
experiences and regional specificities has always ensured that new and possible
collaborations are discussed and forged.
The eINDIA Forum has always
provided a stimulating and invigorating environment, starting from eINDIA 2005
through eINDIA 2008, allowing different stakeholders to learn from peers and
experts representing different sectors. eINDIA 2008 apart from being
co-organised by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology,
Government of India, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of
India, Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India and UN GAID, also
received overwhelming support from key ministries namely the Ministry of
Agriculture, and the Ministry of Panchayati Raj. It saw 320 speakers across 7
thematic tracks and a participation of around 1500 delegates from more than 35
countries.
The Forum has also been extended to different Asian regions
and has been hosted by different Asian countries along with CSDMS. eASIA 2008
organised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, eASIA2007 organised in Putrajaya, Malaysia,
and eASIA2006 held in Bangkok, Thailand witnessed interactive sessions with an
interesting mix of participants leading to knowledge exchange, collaborations
and refinement of perspectives.
