An Event To Remember

Technology Senate 2005, the largest event of its kind for Indian CIOs, was held at Bangkok from September 15 to 18, 2005. It was a grand success and attended by around 400 CIOs of large and medium enterprises.

The CIOs were treated to keynote speeches, round-table conferences, and presentations made on technology and management topics. There were also visits to the theme pavilions to keep abreast of the latest product and solution offerings.
