IIM Kozhikode to Organize Annual IT Management Summit 'AIMS 2007'
Theme: "The New Frontiers of Technology: Consumer Internet, Wireless & Mobile"
On November 17-18, 2007

The two most important decisions of one's life - your career and your life-partner - are increasingly being made online. AIMS 2007, the Annual IT Management Summit of IIM Kozhikode, will focus on the pervasiveness of the Internet and the effect it has on our everyday lives. The summit will be held on November 17-18, 2007 at the IIMK campus.

The theme this year is "The New Frontiers of Technology: Consumer Internet, Wireless and Mobile". AIMS 2007 is India's largest student-driven IT summit and brings together the IT industry, government officials and students for two days of intense discussions and brain-storming.

Going beyond a traditional summit, AIMS 2007 in association with Calicut IT Initiative (CITI), a professional citizens' initiative, launches 'ConnectCalicut', a round-table discussion where decision-makers from major IT companies, the Kerala Government and infrastructure developers including the Aditya Birla Group will converge. ConnectCalicut will set the stage for high-level discussions on developing Calicut as an IT destination. The IT and industry secretaries of Kerala, and the District Collector of Calicut will grace the occasion. IIMK has been at the fore-front of this initiative with students helping the IT ministry draft an IT Policy and developing a strategy plan to attract software companies to Calicut.
