WCIT 2021, ICT the great equalizer

The World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) is a flagship event hosted by the World Information Technology & Services Alliances (WITSA), an association of prominent information and communication technology groups worldwide. Established in 1978, WCIT stands out as a vital and esteemed gathering in the ICT realm.

With a rich history spanning over four decades, WCIT has fostered a unique global dialogue on ICT matters, alluring stakeholders from various sectors worldwide, including users, providers, media, and academia. Distinguished figures from global business, government, and academia convene to deliberate on critical subjects such as emerging markets, legal and policy frameworks, technological trends, user insights, and international business scenarios.

WITSA's expansive network spans 85 countries, encompassing members that collectively represent 90% of the global ICT industry.

Bangladesh is set to host WCIT 2021 from November 11-14, 2021. The event's theme for its 25th edition is "ICT - The Great Equalizer."

Over the past thirty years, information and communication technologies have revolutionized economies, businesses, and societies by breaking down barriers, creating new opportunities, and improving overall quality of life. ICT has played a crucial role in propelling nations towards growth and prosperity worldwide.

Technological innovation and rapid adoption have bolstered our collective resilience and transcended boundaries and limitations. WCIT 2021 in Bangladesh aims to highlight technology's significant achievements thus far by positioning it as "The Great Equalizer" for our shared future.

Additionally, WCIT 2021 will delve into the fourth phase of the digital revolution—a transformation unfolding at an exponential pace, reshaping industries across the globe and fundamentally changing our lifestyles, work dynamics, and social interactions. This vast metamorphosis will be unparalleled in its scale and complexity.

Structured around four key elements—speeches, exhibitions, B2B meetings, and social functions—WCIT promises to be an intellectually enriching experience for all participants.
