International Data Group (IDG) ASEAN has announced three major information technology (IT) events that are scheduled for September 26 to 28 in HCMC.
Representatives of IDG said that the events were Vietnam Computer World Expo 2014 (VCW 2014), the tenth ASEAN CIO/CSO Summit and Awards, and the second DEMO ASEAN conference.
The VCW will focus on information and communication technology for enterprises and this is a new highlight for this year.

Organizers said 40-60 groups of business startups in Vietnam and elsewhere in the region would participate in the DEMO ASEAN 2014. They will present their products in front of representatives of foreign investment funds and technology experts. The top five groups with outstanding products will be selected to attend the DEMO 2014 in Silicon Valley in the United States in autumn this year.
As scheduled, IDG ASEAN in collaboration with the HCMC People’s Committee will honor the best chief information officers and chief security officers at the CIO/CSO Awards 2014 on September 26.
