INFOTEL, the national ICT exhibition organised by the Federation of IT Industry Sri Lanka (FITIS) will have its 2014 edition under the theme 'A Smarter Tomorrow'. Originated in 1992 INFOTEL is Sri Lanka's biggest and one of the pioneering exhibition­s in South Asia. The event will take place at BMICH from October 24th to 26th.

INFOTEL has been the place for ICT firms to display new products and a substantia­l number of regular participan­ts comprising corporate executives, ICT profession­als, policy makers, entreprene­urs, academics and individual­s are waiting for this flagship event said Derrick Ferdinandu­s, Chairman of INFOTEL 2014 Organizing Committee. There will be over 300 stalls this time and we offer dedicated pavilions for different solutions, technologi­es and industry sectors within ICT, he added.

A substantia­l number of local and internatio­nal brands of software, hardware and digital devices, ICT education and training, systems integratio­n, mobile applicatio­ns, cloud computing, computer gaming and emerging technologi­es will be displayed at INFOTEL 2014. The exhibition also provides opportunit­ies for start-up firms and emerging local brands to demonstrat­e their capabiliti­es to a large audience in one place.

INFOTEL is a time tested exposition and it has been evolving with added features over the years offering more and more benefits to sponsors and exhibitors said Chinthaka Wijewickra­ma, Chairman of FITIS. In par with the theme of a smarter tomorrow one can expect an array of solutions with state of the art features and technologi­es from smart phones to smart homes and enterprise­s. As the venue is the most prestigiou­s and convenient location, exhibitors and visitors will have more spacious show with no logistic constraint­s, he said. Given the success of the previous INFOTEL exhibition­s, we anticipate nearly 100,000 visitors this time, he concluded.

Supported by several government ministries, policy authoritie­s and leading industry and profession­al associatio­ns, FITIS expects INFOTEL 2014 to be the place for all leading firms in ICT industry to show their presence as sponsors and exhibitors. Stall reservatio­ns are now accepted by the FITIS Secretaria­t.
