As you schedule your activities for 2009, plan on attending the
November 1-3, Global Public Policy Summit (GPPS 2009); ref.
[4]http://www.gpps2009.bm/. This will be a unique and important
event. Please see a special delegate invitation letter at
[5]http://www.witsa.org/gpps2009/Delegate_Letter.pdf. The event
program will feature several thought provoking sessions,
including:

-          Business Technology: An Enabler in your Economy?

-          Can Enlightened ICT Policy Enable Your Economy and an
Economic Recovery?

-          Do Policies that Promote Technology Infrastructures
that Are Resilient and Secure, and that Protect the Privacy of
Personal Data Conflict with Policies that Encourage Economic
Expansion?

-          Will Proposed Internet Governance Policies on the
Stability, Security and Private Sector Leadership of the Internet
Dampen Economic Recovery and Expansion?

-          Do Environmental Policies Hamper Growth and Can
Enlightened  ICT Policies and Involvement Bridge the Gap?

-          Is There Evidence that Institutions Can Play a
Positive Role In Promoting ICT and Expanding Economies or Are
They Simply Relics of the Past?

-          Are There Potential Business Technology Developments
on the Horizon That Will Enhance Business Growth?

In addition, there will be a Pre-Summit Workshop entitled
“Incubators as a Catalyst to Developing a Strong ICT Sector “ on
October 31.

Deadlines for early bird registrations are: before February 28
(USD 550) – that is nearly a 40% discount! - and before April 30
(USD 700). From April 30, the regular price (USD 900) applies.

“Business Technology: An Enabler in your Economy.”

The Global Public Policy Summit (GPPS) is a flagship event of the
World Information  Technology and Services Alliance ([6]WITSA) -
a consortium of over 67 information technology (IT) industry
associations from economies around the world.

This international summit focuses on global policies affecting
the ICT industry and is attended by over 500 senior executives,
government officials and policy makers. One of the principal
reasons for participating is that ICT companies gain an excellent
opportunity to target their products and services at policy
makers and business leaders.

Taking place once every two years and commencing in 1999, the
summit is hosted in a different country each time, with the
leading ICT association of that country organizing the event. In
November 2009, GPPS will be coming to Bermuda with the Bermuda
Chamber of Commerce’s Business Technology Division as the
organizer in partnership with the Ministry of Energy,
Telecommunications and E-Commerce.

Be sure to check out the Summit events page at
[7]https://www.gpps2009.bm/Events.aspx for a schedule of the
spouse program, as well as additional information about golf,
shopping, boating and other activities.
