IIM Kozhikode to
Organize Annual IT Management Summit 'AIMS 2007'
Theme: "The New Frontiers of
Technology: Consumer Internet, Wireless & Mobile"
On November 17-18, 2007
The two most important decisions
of one's life - your career and your life-partner - are increasingly being made
online. AIMS 2007, the Annual IT Management Summit of IIM Kozhikode, will
focus on the pervasiveness of the Internet and the effect it has on our everyday
lives. The summit will be held on November 17-18, 2007 at the IIMK campus.
The theme this year is "The
New Frontiers of Technology: Consumer Internet, Wireless and Mobile". AIMS
2007 is India's largest student-driven IT summit and brings together the IT
industry, government officials and students for two days of intense discussions
and brain-storming.
Going beyond a traditional
summit, AIMS 2007 in association with Calicut IT Initiative (CITI), a
professional citizens' initiative, launches 'ConnectCalicut', a
round-table discussion where decision-makers from major IT companies, the Kerala
Government and infrastructure developers including the Aditya Birla Group
will converge. ConnectCalicut will set the stage for high-level discussions on
developing Calicut as an IT destination. The IT and industry secretaries of
Kerala, and the District Collector of Calicut will grace the occasion. IIMK has
been at the fore-front of this initiative with students helping the IT ministry
draft an IT Policy and developing a strategy plan to attract software companies
to Calicut.
