An action-packed social roster January 29, 2008
The NASSCOM Forum, known for its ability to bring together the right people, at the right place at the right time, will serve the purpose of a social gala, during the times that the serious agenda takes a back seat. Apart from providing special physical spaces where delegates can “connect” with each other and discuss business and pleasure, NASSCOM is also planning welcome receptions, CEO dinners and entertainment evenings as well as networking luncheons to keep the spirit of fun alive and well at the conference. The goal, of course, is to create the necessary ambiance and mood where attendees can unwind after a hard, thought provoking day and catch up with friends and business peers.
Platform for the analysts, academicians and thought leaders January 27, 2008
What is a global conclave without the presence of analysts, Think Tanks and Thought Gurus—people who set the context for the deliberations and add value with their business intelligence, insights and exciting projections?
Recognizing the relevance and contribution of these mind leaders, NASSCOM has constantly ensured that they are present at its annual event in large numbers. 2008 will be no different. The Forum will provide a sounding board to a host of analyst firms, advisories, renowned academicians and Thought Leaders, who will steer numerous debates, ensure that the discussions remain focused, and explore different perspectives on key issues. Expect to interface with people from the Institute for Global Futures, the San Diego Consulting Group, Inc.,the Boston Consulting Group, AMR Research, Ovum, TPI, Forrester Research, Inc., Gartner, Everest and IDC. The analyst firms, in particular, will also use the NASSCOM 2008 platform to share with the audience, the findings of their own surveys and recent studies.
MNCs and their teams at the event January 21, 2008
Unlike the previous years, when the focus was predominantly on individual participation, this time around we are expecting to see large MNCs come down to India, with their high-powered global leadership and decision-making teams. In that sense, the delegate profile during 2008 will witness a change. Global managers of companies will be present at the show along with their influencers, besides Indian CXOs. The Indian CEOs brigade—representing the big names of business such as Mahindra & Mahindra, Headstrong, BT, Wipro, Aricent, Satyam Computer Services, Infotech Enterprises, Siemens, Zensar, IBM, Accenture, Mphasis, Perot, Vertex, Cognizant, Infosys, Genpact, Yahoo, TCS, HCL, NIIT Technologies—will of course be present in full strength, alongside leading Government functionaries such as former President of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, and Kamal Nath, Minister for Commerce and Industry.
