WCIT 2008 is coming to town this weekend. For the first time, Malaysia will organize this event at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 19th - 21st May.

Wondering what WCIT is? Taken from the about page, WCIT is premier global ICT forum, that brings together global leaders in business, government and academician. WCIT is not a consumer or ICT show, it is more towards intellectual discussion/forum, so do not expect to find the latest or coolest gadgets over there.

On the agenda, it is full of keynotes and speeches from well known figures in the IT world, which include Bill Gates (special appearance via holographic technology) and Dr Vinton Cerf, Vice-president & Chief Internet Evangelist, Google

Apart from that, there’ll be a number of events and among them, one that had caught my attention (as consumer) is PC Fair International and WCSS 2008 and MITPM 2008 (as IT professional).

Of all the events below, only PC Fair and PIKOM Software & Services Showcase (PS3) are open to public (admission free), and the rest of the events are open for registration or by invitation only.
