Launch of IT Wales Technical Computing Group- Thursday 23rd September 2004

IT Wales, working in partnership with Know How Wales, Knowledge Exploitation Centre and Cygnus Online, has unveiled plans for an exciting new programme of events specifically targeted at computing professionals from both business and academia.

During the launch breakfast, held in Sketty Hall Swansea, on Thursday 23rd September, Beti Williams, Director of IT Wales, outlined the aims and objectives for the group.

"The IT Wales Advanced Technical Computing Group will help to establish and promote Wales as a country with an international reputation for innovation and excellence in Computing and Information Communication Technologies. It will provide a platform for collaboration between computing professionals from business and academia, enabling them to drive forward the computing industry in Wales and stimulate awareness of the diverse applications of computing. The group will also be well placed to highlight the skills required to meet the future demands of the global computing industries."

Guest speaker Alan Cox, a graduate of the University of Wales Swansea and one of the most influential IT innovators in the world, offered the audience an entertaining and thought provoking insight into the current limitations and human failings of the software development process.

The full programme of events will commence in January 2005 and will link with organisations including the British Computer Society, Welsh E-Science Centre and Natural Computing Forum.
