The event has been organized by the Information Technology Association of Jordan (int@j) which was founded in the year 2000 as an industry-support association for Jordan’s ICT sector.
In addition to a number of inspirational and leading industry speakers, over 500 attendees from the Region and beyond, or in other words the who’s who of the region’s ICT industry are expected to take part in the event.

The agenda includes topics such as MENA ‘the online boom’ as an Eco System for Entrepreneurs, VCs, and even education. Buzz terms like outsourcing, cloud computing, and the Arabic content crisis also have their fair share of time during the event.
