Dear Colleague,
Itis a great honor for me to welcome you to the 29th Annual Convention
of the Information Processing Association of Israel (IPA). A special
welcome is extended to our guests from abroad, who have arrived to
take part in the major event of the information technology community
in Israel.
The geo-political developments in the Middle-East and the constant
technological advancements instil a new meaning and dimension to
the main theme of the convention - The Borderless World.
For the first time we join hands in our annual convention with colleagues
from Arab countries as well as from South East Asia, Japan, the USA
and Europe.
Israel's achievements in the Hi-Tech industry in general, and in the
field of software and communication in particular, have become a
world renowned economic and technological success story.
The 29th Annual Convention of IPA will discuss “hot" topics in
technology. Experts from Israel and abroad will share with us their
expertise and will expose us to future innovations and their effects on
our society, economics, education and other aspects of our lives.
Israel today can benefit from the opportunity to collaborate with
colleagues from all over the world. | truly believe that this convention
will establish the ground and build the bridge to future cooperation
and projects which will make Israel into one of the most important
software centers and information technology based industries centers
in the world.
The comprehensive commercial exhibition and the social gatherings,
will complement the rich professional sessions and will undoubtedly
combine to provide an enjoyable and stimulating meeting.
Yours sincerely,
Amiram Shore
