The NILF, such an integral part of the IT industry’s calendar for the opportunities and trends that it serves to highlight, has also quietly shown the way in the use of ICTs for such events. It began innocuously enough with text message updates, followed by online registrations and print outs of badges at the venue. This was augmented in later years by the official blog which kept people abreast of the goings on at the NILF and gave them a window into the kind of event it is. more

At NILF 2010, we are trying to provide a unique opportunity for the delegates to Connect on focussed topics. Topic Tables will provide face to face exposure to those interested in the same projects and concepts. Tables will be organized for broader topics, but they are entirely up to you as a delegate. We will post your topic online and onsite and provide the space and time. You need to provide the engaging topic and also get some discussions going. These tables will allow delegates with common interests to gather together and discuss those issues which may not have fit within the other sessions, or for which an unconstrained discussion is desired. This would also allow like minded people to interact/network with each other. These tables will provide the space and opportunity for delegates and groups to connect, network and share ideas. more

I met a Princeton student at the NILF today. It’s not unusual for me to get emails from students doing research into outsourcing (and mostly from the ones I am not actually teaching), but it’s rare to meet a student who has travelled to Mumbai all the way from the United States to spend three entire days in a conference environment trying to learn more about the industry. When I was a student, my economic analysis usually extended no further than which bar offered the best value. more
