CIO Business Congress 2010
22-24 July 2010, Goa

Today's CIOs are expected to make technology an integral part of their organization's strategy and not just an offshoot of the business. No more cost centers, think profit centers. The mantra is to focus on revenues and customer-orientation. IT investments are transcending from being meagre business enablers or assets on the books to providing capabilities that can effectively drive the business. At CIO Business Congress, we understand while this may be the overarching mandate for CIOs from across industry verticals, the winds of change sweeping IT department's in one industry can be significantly different from another.
For this very reason, we have created a bespoke event with specific focus on these industry verticals - BFSI, Public Sector (including Education), Telecom, Healthcare (including Pharma), Energy & Utilities, Transportation & Logistics and Information Technology-enabled Services (ITeS). CIO Business Congress (CBC) is a unique event that will gather senior executives, VPs and industry thought leaders to discuss IT issues, solutions and best practices. CBC 2010 is packed with one-on-one business meetings, engaging keynotes, interactive workshop sessions and power panel discussions.
CBC brings together pre-qualified, proactive VIP delegates from all over India and the world's premium IT vendors and solution providers to meet one-on-one, exchange business terms and seal deals through a special, unrivaled system that includes pre-scheduled appointments and networking opportunities, all over a focused three day period. Visit the congress web site to know how you can participate in the B2B meetings, workshops and panel discussion, and contact us for the various touch points including sponsoring and attending the 2010 edition.
India Game Developer Summit 2010-2011
Bangalore, India

The games industry in India has its healthy share of rockstars and a burgeoning stream of wannabes. A relatively nascent industry, many of its practitioners and consumers were dubbed as geeks and outcasts, and many of them ridiculed for their passion. Add to it is the insatiable craving for academic and critical discourse and a repulsion of it for many of the same reasons. Saltmarch Media's India Game Developer Summit 2010 (Lite Edition) demonstrated the need for an active platform that discussed the combination of programming, interactivity, aesthetics, sound, user experience and gaming business.
The first and independent summit dedicated to the Indian game developer community untangled clouded perceptions and provide an enriching experience to all those who attended. Everyone had something substantial to take away from the summit and directly apply to their everyday jobs. The 2010 edition of India Game Developer Summit bought the entire community together for the first time under one roof - a first step towards a grander unification of the industry.
Low on entry barrier and high on creativity, the gaming industry presents a huge opportunity for India's software developers. Gamers, online publishers, telecoms, PC and console manufacturers, Internet cafe owners, all with a vested interest in growing the market, are helping nurture a rich games culture in India.
The first of its kind in India, India GDS provides a high quality summit experience where the most intelligent minds and proactive gaming organizations converge to create a high-quality learning experience, and inspire, connect and educate the Indian game developer ecosystem. Hosted in an intimate setting, the summit offers its participants professional development and educational programs and ample networking opportunities to foster informal interaction among the game developer community in India.
