The 4th annual “International Conference on Innovations in Info-business & Technology (ICIIT 2023)” will be held on 04th August 2023 at Galadari Hotel, Colombo under the theme “Unlocking digital potential for economic growth in emerging regions”.  ICIIT  will bring together academia, industry, technologists, and  research scholars . The conference will have plenary talks, keynote addresses by leading international research scholars, tutorials & workshops by domain experts, research paper presentations, Industry exhibits, and booths.

Given the far-reaching impact of the  COVID-19 pandemic, the world is searching for new practices, methods, and technologies to recover, rebuild and improve the way society operates when navigating the challenges of the post-Covid era. The ICIIT 2023 is a well-timed conference that aims to delve into the multi-layered topic of how society can emerge stronger and more resilient to face post-Covid challenges and growth. It presents an excellent opportunity for all stakeholders to revisit and re-evaluate our assumptions, decisions, practices, and collaborations with the aim of formulating new workflows and techniques in e-businesses, e-services, e-societies, and e-learning for a better, sustainable future.

The conference is focused  on three main tracks;

  1. Data Science & AI
  2. Computing
  3. Technology of Business
