Taking place once every two years and commencing in 1999, the

November 1-3, 2009. The event program will feature several
thought provoking sessions, including:


-      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?
