Regional IT experts head for Phuket software forum

PHUKET: More than 300 software development experts from nine countries are expected to attend the The Asia Oceania Software Park Forum 2009 scheduled to take place in Phuket next month.

The regional IT forum, which will also include the IT Architect Regional Conference 2009, is jointly organized by Software Industry Promotion Agency (SIPA) and Phuket’s recently-opened Software Park.

The three-day seminar will be held at the Merlin Beach Resort, Phuket, from October 8 to 10.

Phuket-based technology guru and Gazette columnist Woody Leonhard said the event is a ‘big deal’ for the region’s IT industry and is another step forward in recognizing Phuket as a regional IT hub.
