IT confidence event looks forward

By Fay Humphries, Events programme director
Johannesburg, 18 Jan 2005

ITWeb and Brainier Capital and Consulting will host an IT Confidence 2005 Conference in Johannesburg next month.

The one-day event features analysts, economists and businesspeople, who will provide projections for the South African ICT sector for the year ahead.

The conference will be held at Gallagher Estate, Johannesburg, on 23 February.

Brian Rainier, MD of Brainier Capital and Consulting, believes delegates will gain insight into what to expect for the year through collating a number of different or perhaps concurring views from players and analysts in the ICT sector.

"It was interesting to see that the consensus views coming out of last year`s event proved to be largely correct. This year`s views will be further illuminating as we gain insights into expectations and views around such issues as the rand/dollar situation, black economic empowerment (once again), as well as the effect of the telecoms deregulations."

Speakers at this year`s event include Chris Hart, senior treasury economist at Absa; Gordon Fraser, MD of Microsoft South Africa; Brett Dawson, group CEO of Dimension ; Mavuso Msimang, CEO of SITA; Mark Walker, director at BMI-TechKnowledge; Franca Disilvestro, director at HSBC; Steuart Pennington, CEO of SA: The Good News; and Brian Rainier, MD of Brainier Capital & Consulting.
