Dear colleagues!
The First Baltic IT Cruise is the unique meeting place for CEOs and CIOs of
companies around the Baltic Sea which would like to learn more about IT resources
on the other side of the Baltic Sea. The Nordic countries have been leaders
within telecom and Internet penetration for several years already, but to keep
that leadership, the large pool of the world best resources could not be overseen.
IT outsourcing and outplacement of software development have become a common
trend in the global industry. St Petersburg region, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland can offer a broad scale of IT services for the Nordic businesses, IT
companies as well as end users.
The main goal of the IT Cruise is to present the IT opportunities of the region,
to showcase the best examples of already existing co-operation in the field of IT
outsourcing. You will exchange the experience with companies already using IT
service providers in Russia and Baltic States.
The First Baltic IT Cruise will take place onboard of Viking
Line ferry traveling between Helsinki and Stockholm, from
November 21 till November 23. Over 150 people from all cities
and regions around the Baltic Sea are expecting to participate
in the conference - Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland.
The highlights of the conference are:
- excellence of IT resources in the region, why the best programming resources
are accumulated in the Baltic region and how to use them in order to gain global
leadership,
- showcases of IT outsourcing, concrete examples of successful co-operation,
- best practices in development processes and quality assurance, how to
manage the risks of IT outsourcing and guarantee the quality of projects.
The very important part of the IT Cruise is matchmaking and B2B meetings between
participating companies. Three slots in the program will be devoted to
company-to-company discussions about potential business relationships.
All interested companies are welcome to submit their presentations, support the
conference with different sponsorship options and register for participation.
Looking forward to meet you onboard,
Sincerely,
The Organizing Committee
