Leading with PurposeINFOCOM, India’s leading Technology, Business and Leadership Conference and an international platform has been promoting ICT, in India and beyond for more than 21 years now. INFOCOM in association with SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SAARC CCI) and The Daily Star is organising the sixth edition of INFOCOM Dhaka in 2023.
The two-day conference at The Westin Dhaka, Bangladesh will be held between February 10-11, 2023. The Conference will bring together business and technology leaders from India and Bangladesh with an agenda to interact and discuss the latest trends in technology, share key experiences and learnings with peers from the industry and help enable businesses to step into the next phase of collaborative growth through use of ICT.
The “return phase” of the COVID-19 crisis provided the organizations and leaders an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and the winning formulas that helped the organization survive and thrive. As the technology and business took new dimensions, leadership remained one of the core competencies, to build the future as the VUCA world forced the organizations to focus on identifying the key purpose of its existence - the intent that makes the organization successful in the long run.
