The future of information, networking and ebusiness technologies will be under the spotlight at the event, which will feature some of the most advanced innovations available in the field.

Organised by Computerscope magazine and TechCentral.ie, the event will be visited by computer users in all areas of the business, as well as the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern.
