The 9th
Information Technology Professionals' Congress
"www.e-leader.ph/building technical and human excellence"

IT professionals will get their much-awaited annual boosters on the latest in Information Technology and best practices in leading and motivating IT staff. It's time for the 9th IT Professionals' Congress scheduled on June 17-18, 2004 at SGV Hall, AIM Conference Center, Makati City.

A grand kick-off on the theme www.e-leader.ph/building technical and human excellence is the keynote address of Dr. Josette T. Biyo, the 2004 INTEL Teaching Excellence Awardee. She was chosen over 4000 other teachers worldwide and now has a minor planet named after her as one of her rewards! In her own worlds: "I dreamt of a star, I was given a planet!" Truly an icon of excellence!

To make the Congress accessible to more IT professionals all over the country, we have expanded its conduct through a Multi-point Desktop Video Conferencing technology courtesy of MosCom's LRN.com. Delegates from Manila will be joined by other delegates from the cities of Bacolod, Baguio, Cebu and Naga - a first of its kind!
