NCS Nigeria 2011 Conference

The Nigeria Computer Society NCS has announced that the 10th International Conference – Information Technology for People-Centred Development (ITePED 2011) will hold from Monday July 25 to Friday July 29, 2011. The  Venue is : International Conference Centre, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nigeria.

Call for Papers: Papers are invited from NCS members, members of other professional bodies and the general public based on the Theme and Sub-themes of the Conference.

The Annual Conference 2011 focus on the micro issues that affect people directly i.e. how Information Technology (IT) could be used for People Empowerment or People Centred Development.

This will be approached not only from the policy perspective that addresses the required enabling environment (the general strand in most of our past conferences), which is largely in the purview of government and governance, but also with a good dose of practical orientation that opens up the opportunities and challenge people to take full advantage of IT, regardless of limitations of the policy environment.
