ITCN Asia 2009 is scheduled for August 11-13, 2009 at the beautiful Karachi Expo Centre. I interviewed Atiq Rehman who is the Group Director of Marketing for Ecommerce Gateway, who produce and manage 16 of the world’s most inspiring and effective events such as ITCN Asia.

We discuss speakers, conference sessions, ITCN Asia 2008, and the new approach for ITCN Asia 2009. 2008 was really awesome with 130,000+ attendees and 125 or more exhibitors. Our company was there as a keynote speaker, exhibitor and media promoter. We plan the same for 2009 and hope you will, too.

Speakers planned are from Google, Yahoo, MSN, Dawn, Rozee.pk, Nortel, Cisco,  Internet and E-marketing experts, and more from Australia, Middle East, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Some of the sessions and topics and exhibitor areas include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), 3G and Broadband, E-banking, E-marketing (spam, online banners vs SMS, Twitter, blogging, Google ads).

ICTN Asia 2009 will enable new technologies to debate old technologies, instead of just listening to presentations that are selling a service or product. What a treat! Real interaction and an opportunity to understand the alternatives.
