Gateway to Technological Innovation
As the global digital landscape continues to evolve, Fiji stands at the forefront of embracing technology to drive growth and sustainability.
In just the blink of an eye, the National Training and Productivity Centre is ready to launch the 5th National Conference on Information Technology (NCIT). As we prepare to achieve yet another milestone in the ICT national dialogues and discussions, our speakers, participants, stakeholders, and team anticipate curating an event that will surely help shape the future of ICT in the nation and also serve as a benchmarking avenue for our Pacific neighbours. We have scheduled for the 26th - 27th of September at the picturesque Pearl Resort.
The NCIT 2024 promises to be a nexus of ideas, innovation, and collaboration. The NCIT is an annual conference that is now recognized as a National Event. It is the brainchild of the Department of Information Technology at the National Training and Productivity Centre (NTPC) of Fiji National University. Each year, our team works hard with our esteemed sponsors from local and international organisations in an effort to bring innovative ideas to the table to foster operational excellence through revolutionary innovation, sustainable development, and good governance.
Building on the success of previous conferences, the NCIT 2024 serves as a platform for ICT professionals, academics, vendors, and students to converge and explore the latest trends, solutions, and strategies in the ever-evolving world of technology.
With a theme centred on “Fostering Operational Excellence,” the conference seeks to catalysze transformative change and propel Fiji towards a future driven by technological prowess and strategic vision.
Reflecting on the journey that led to this momentous occasion, the NCIT has steadily gained prominence as a national event of significance and has also become a substantial benchmarking avenue for other ICT critical players in the market to open floors for collaborative discussions that allow national development. Originating from conversations within the NTPC’s Industry Discussion Forums and strategic planning meetings, the conference emerged as a vital initiative to foster collaboration and innovation within Fiji’s ICT ecosystem.
Recognising the need for increased synergy among policymakers, ICT professionals, academia, and industry stakeholders, the NCIT catalyses driving productivity through technological innovation.
The objectives of the NCIT are clear and ambitious.
Keynote segments featuring distinguished speakers from significant sponsors and industry leaders will provide insights into cuttingedge technologies and emerging trends. Interactive sessions, including formal panel discussions and Pacific-style Talanoa sessions, will facilitate engaging dialogue and knowledge exchange.
Moreover, the conference aims to delve into national ICT statistics and strategies, paving the way for informed decision-making and strategic planning.
The success of the NCIT is not merely measured by the caliber of its speakers or the breadth of its topics but by the impact it has on its participants and stakeholders and its application to solve real-world issues that affect our region.
As evidenced by the feedback from previous conferences, satisfaction levels have been high, with attendees commending the diversity of speakers, thought-provoking discussions, and focus on pertinent issues such as cybersecurity. Looking ahead to NCIT 2024, stakeholders have already begun to express their expectations and suggestions for the conference agenda. Topics ranging from artificial intelligence and data analytics to cybersecurity and ICT strategic planning have been proposed, reflecting the diverse interests and priorities of the ICT community in Fiji.
As Fiji prepares to host the
5th National Conference on Information Technology, the stage is set for a transformative journey towards operational excellence, innovation, and sustainable development. With each passing year, the NCIT reaffirms its commitment to driving positive change and shaping Fiji’s digital future. Stay tuned as we embark on this exhilarating voyage of discovery and progress. Mark your calendars for the NCIT 2024 - a convergence of minds, a celebration of innovation, and a testament to Fiji’s unwavering commitment to harnessing the power of technology for the benefit of all.
