About the event

"It is pleasing to see that education and the development of African ICT is on the agenda. An event that allows for discussion and reflection on how to stimulate positive growth of African IT infrastructure is truly unique and timely."
Mrs. GNM Pandor, MP Minister of Science & Technology
 
The 3rd annual IT Leaders Africa Summit is once again bringing together the greatest players across the IT industry in Southern Africa. Both local and international companies will network and discuss business with Southern Africa’s heads of IT.
 
The summit has been designed for knowledge sharing, networking and deal making within the Southern African IT industry. The event will feature focused business meeting’s, educational workshops as well as a cutting edge conference agenda.
 
The theme for 2012 is: "Driving the business forward through innovation"

IT Leaders offers a unique format:

Workshops & Discussion Forums 
Workshops will be led by a Chief Information Officer or IT Director in a case study format. The workshops are designed to ensure interactivity and problem-solving. Each workshop will run for approximately ninety minutes, allowing ample opportunities for questions and further debate.
 
Interactive CIO Panel Discussions 
Each day will feature two interactive CIO panel discussions on the agenda; the first to round off the morning, the second to round off the afternoon. Interesting and engaging, these sessions will be a great way to hear views from the panel, but also for the audience to voice their opinions on the matter for discussion. Each session will be hosted and facilitated by a moderator, specialised in the subject of debate.
 
Networking and open meeting sessions
Corporate display areas encourage quality meeting time for delegates and sponsors alike while coffee breaks, networking functions, luncheons and cocktail dinners promote increased interactivity among delegates.
