The Hong Kong International Computer Conference (HKICC) is a flagship event organized by HKCS. It aims to bring together IT professionals, executives as well as business and government leaders locally and from overseas, to explore the opportunities that IT has to offer in this fast changing digital era.
‘Smart City – Let IT go!’ is the main theme of this year’s Conference. IT has become one of the most instrumental change agents on our daily lives, and the emergence of ‘Smart City’ holds the promise of a better living for over half of the world population today, and 7 out of every 10 people on this planet by 2050.
Given IT’s ubiquitous presence nowadays, urban dwellers in particular are exposed to new concepts such as e-government, e-health and, more generally, e-lifestyle. These and other ‘Smart City’ facilities have brought a great deal of convenience and value to all citizens, and, as a result, transformed the ways in which people live, work and interact with each other.
This year’s HKICC will feature nine major areas under the ‘Smart City’ theme: In addition to the three mentioned earlier, there will be Energy, Cloud Computing, Connectivity & Mobility, Security & Privacy, Social Media, Big Data & Advanced Analytics, plus a special session on Start-up. It is expected that the speeches and panels will be both inspiring and interesting to the audience.
