The theme of our conference this year is “Building a Smarter Bay Area through Technology Leadership”. The development of the Greater Bay Area will offer new and exciting opportunities for those working in the technology field. With the growing need for digitisation and business transformation within this region, there is great growth potential for IT professionals.

今年主題為「科技引領－打造智慧灣區」。大灣區的發展將為資訊科技界提供令人振奮的各種機遇。隨著大灣區對數碼和業務轉型的需求不斷增長，IT專業人員於灣區內的發展潛力非常巨大。

The Greater Bay Area (GBA) consists of Hong Kong, Macau, and 9 other nearby cities in Guangdong, including Shenzhen. This represents a population of 67 million people with a combined GDP that is 12% of the national economy. This provides enormous opportunities for collaboration and business synergies among the 11 cities as well as a united force to world markets, with Hong Kong leading as the “super connector.” The theme of this conference highlights the tremendous opportunities for technology and digitalisation in the GBA region and beyond.

大灣區（GBA）的組成由香港、澳門、以及包括深圳在內的九個廣東城市組成。這代表著大灣區擁有著六千七百萬人口，及百分之十二的國內生產總值支持。此為十一個城市於國際市場內形成協力，以香港身為「超級聯繫人」作主導，在業務協同效應下提供了龐大的科技及數碼化發展機會，而是次會議的焦點在於突出大灣區科技和數碼化的長遠發展及機遇。
