ICST Events Committee announces over 60 international conferences in 2009
October 25, 2008Following the regular quarterly events review meeting of ICST's Events Committee, the Society announces over 60 international conferences and 100 accompanying workshops in 2009. The planned events are globally distributed on five continents (Europe, Americas, Asia, Australia and Africa) and over 20 countries, such as Italy, Denmark, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Australia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, South Africa, Israel, Canada or the USA. This geographical coverage is to further increase as new events are currently being reviewed.
The upcoming first year conferences in 2009 will cover a broad spectrum of ICT related technological areas, such as mobile health technologies, forensics law and accounting, arts and entertainment, auction theories and applications, quantum communication and networking, knowledge management and learning networks, cloud computing, public safety communication, user centric media and internet, IT for the financial world, social networking, virtualization, energy management and efficiency, international development, sensor networks and applications, virtual worlds, optical networking and communication, complex systems, or e-agriculture.
In addition to the expanding geographical and technological coverage, 2009 will reshape the composition of the Society's events portfolio from a third perspective as well. The increasing number of technical conferences will be met by an increasing number of science-to-business (S2B) and engineering for innovation (EIC) conferences catering for the interests and needs of the engineering, corporate and regulatory communities. Through Conf-CAST, the Society online conference portal, Society members will have the required platform and tools to initiate purely internet based conferences as well.
