As an enthusiastic participant in Hong Kong’s ICT industry, I have been privileged to observe its wonderful evolution across a very significant period of time during which hardly anyone has been untouched by business and personal transformation in communications and commerce.

As Chairman of the Communications Association of Hong Kong (CAHK), I am pleased to reaffirm our support of the Hong Kong International Computer Conference, now in its 35th year. As always, the HKICC brings tremendous value to a wide spectrum of industry and consumer segments, serving as a venue for connecting ICT professionals, business executives and many other industry experts from Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas, to share insights and new knowledge. CAHK is proud to be a part of this global dynamic, helping to bring about new business opportunities and enhance productivity.

While the pace of innovation and change has always been rapid when it comes to ICT, lately it appears especially so, and thus it is fitting this year’s conference theme is “ICT in a Volatile Economy — Creating Opportunities and Managing Risks.” We at CAHK have also been mindful of the global environment and concur that with volatility comes opportunity. Historically, ICT has always played a key role in enabling adaption to change. For example, cloud and mobility are just two of many emerging developments with incredible potential.

Yet the most important aspect of uncovering opportunity is the human element, and all successes ultimately require collaboration between multiple parties. HKICC 2012 will be the “carrier signal” this year to facilitate these introductions and collaborations, and from myself and on behalf of CAHK, we wish great success for this year’s conference and look forward to meeting many of you.

On behalf of the Hong Kong Electronics & Technologies Association, I would like to express our warmest congratulations to the Hong Kong Computer Society on hosting the Hong Kong International Computer Conference this year.

The HKICC provides a great platform for business leaders and IT professionals to come to-gether and share their insights. We wish the HKICC2012 a very successful conference for another year!

Congratulations to the Hong Kong Computer Society for the 35th Hong Kong International Computer Conference! Over the past years, HKICC has been one of the most important annual events in the ICT industry which plays a significant role in propelling ICT advancement in Hong Kong.

This year, the conference theme of HKICC 2012 “ICT in a Volatile Economy - Creating Opportunities and Managing Risks " is very appropriate for Hong Kong in these years. Facing the uncertainty of the global economy, turning risks into opportunities is an essential element in the ICT industry of Hong Kong, in order to achieve and maintain its full potential both as a world-class digital city for technology adoption and to strengthen its position as the major city of China. HKICC 2012 provides a valuable platform for the ICT stakeholders to explore sustainable ways to move forward and to acquire most up-to-date knowledge in the enterprise ICT market.

On the other hand, there are plenty of challenges faced by the CIT community in utilizing the technologies innovatively in emerging practical applications, as well as pushing the knowledge frontier for advancing the technologies. In this regard, professional societies have a vital role to play in bringing together various parties of the CIT community to address these challenges.
