IDC`S 14TH ANNUAL EUROPEAN IT FORUM
Date: 27, 28 September 2004
Venue: Le Meridian Montparnasse, Paris
Despite a general acknowledgement that the global economy is improving, the rewards have yet to be realized in Europe, where economic growth lags that in other regions. With this trend set to continue in 2004, a number of challenges are raised for European companies caught between the requirements of increasing efficiencies while competing on a global basis through innovation and growth. These themes will be explored in detail at IDC`s 14th annual European IT Forum, which takes place on September 27 and 28 at Le Meridian Montparnasse in Paris. The European IT Forum will also feature IDC`s Research Pavilion, where attendees can network with IDC analysts, and the Guru Labs, interactive workshops where a limited number of participants can brainstorm on critical issues with keynote speakers. Further information and a full list of speakers can be found at www.idc.com/emea/itforum04
