The four-day conference, attended by nearly 1,000 government and industry professionals, focuses on the essentials of how to implement and manage E-Government initiatives in a rapidly changing environment.

The two-day conference comprises of, intense vertical tracks, in-depth technology, business, management and governance-focused sessions related to the information and communication technology. There will be an open forum during the quick-hit panels to provide an opportunity for discussion between the speakers and participants. The 7 tracks of the conference aims to blend global trends with local market realities and perspectives.

A "public sphere" where people learn about, discuss, and deliberate on important issues, such as increasing economic disparity, militarization, environmental degradation, racism or sexism, is critical to our future. This symposium will help inject organization, motivation, and inspiration into the evolution of an information and communication infrastructure that truly meets today's urgent needs. 

This conference, therefore, aims to examine the new opportunities, perspectives and challenges provided by information and communication technologies for developing countries in terms of the following sub themes: What are the factors influencing the development of high-technology industrial activity in developing countries? How have companies in developing countries used ICTs to participate as vendors of goods and services in the global marketplace? What have been the constraints in realising this opportunity?  

The goal of ISTAS'02 is to bring together ICT professionals, computer science and engineering educators, teachers and scholars in the humanities and social sciences, policymakers, students, and ICT users for the purpose of establishing critical dialogue on the social and ethical dimensions of ICT.

Informing Science explores issues in informing clients. It includes fields such as information systems, library science, journalism (in all its forms), public relations, history, and education. From their diverse sources, these fields are evolving and emerging into the transdiscipline we call Informing Science.

This biennial conference series aims to provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research on how diverse cultural attitudes shape the implementation and use of  information and communication technologies (ICT). "Cultural attitudes" here includes cultural values and communicative preferences that may be embedded in both the content and form of ICT - thus threatening to make ICT less the agent of a promised democratic global village and more an agent of cultural homogenisation and imperialism.

ICIE-Symposium: The Digital Divide from an Ethical Viewpoint (new!)

October 3-5 2002, Augsburg, Germany

Societies in the 21st Century will be increasingly characterized by societal differentiation based  on digital networks. The speed of these social and technological changes poses new political, economic, and cultural challenges both within developed countries and the so-called Third World.

The summit will be held in 2003, under ITU's leadership and in close cooperation with other interested United Nations Agencies. The aim of the Summit is to develop a common vision and understanding of the information society and to draw up a strategic plan of action for concerted development towards realizing this vision. The Summit will also seek to define an agenda covering the objectives to be achieved and resources to be mobilized.
