India Digital Summit 2007

The internet has ushered in a quiet but definite revolution at homes, offices and cyber cafes in India and changed the way we look for content, communications or commerce. Whether it is through the PC or the ubiquitous mobile device, internet and wireless based technologies are transforming the socio-economic fabric of India in ways that we never thought of before.

The combination of technologies and devices have for the first time thrown open the possibility of acting as a great leveler making it possible to “walk the talk” on empowerment and inclusiveness. Communications, availability of content and commercial transactions are much more efficient, cost effective and pervasive due to these technologies.

Alongside, it has also thrown open a whole set of new issues around security, data protection, privacy, regulation and legislation.

While it is generally agreed that the future of the internet as an infrastructure and as a medium is “bright”, the obvious questions that come to mind are: “What exactly is the future?” and “Can we reap the future benefits of internet and the digital revolution without preparing here and now?”

The India Digital Summit 2007, IAMAI’s flagship annual event, sets a tough agenda for itself this year and seeks to find answers to some such tricky questions while providing the participants a “view” of the future.

The Summit this year will focus on two distinct areas: internet and related issues of current and future policies, communications tools and commerce; and mobile devices and connected issues of mobile value added services over two days.

As in 2006, the Summit in 2007 too would have an array of best in the category speakers and participation of over 300 delegates. The venue this year is New Delhi the second largest digital market in India after Mumbai.

Senior executives of offline and online companies, senior executives in the mobile and wireless space, representatives of key government departments, new and “old” media and non-government organizations.
