The WCIT is a signature event of the World Information Technology & Services Alliances (WITSA) - a consortium of leading information and communication technology associations of the world. The World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) is one of the most important and prestigious ICT events in the world.

Organized since 1978, the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) is unique in its global perspective on ICT issues and its ability to draw users, providers, media, and academia from around the world. Global business, government, and academic leaders discuss emerging markets, legal and policy issues, political and economic trends, emerging technologies, ICT user perspectives, and business opportunities in the global marketplace. WITSA is present in 85 countries, with the inclusion of members representing 90% of the ICT industry around the globe.

Bangladesh is the host of the World Congress on Information Technology 2021 (WCIT 2021), to be held on November 11-14, 2021. The theme of the 25th WCIT is “ICT - The Great Equalizer.”

Over the last three decades, information and communications technologies has transformed the economy, businesses and society to remove barriers, expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life, social wellbeing, community development, and economic progress. ICT shave been instrumental in accelerating nations’ growth and prosperity across the world. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the continued innovation and accelerated pace of technology adoption has empowered us to be more resilient and evolve collectively transcending borders and limits. This year, WCIT 2021 Bangladesh will address technology’s greatest achievements to date- becoming “The Great Equalizer” of our collective future. Furthermore, WCIT 2021 will shed light on the fourth phase of the digital revolution, which is evolving before our eyes at an exponential rather than a linear pace, disrupting almost every industry in every country and fundamentally altering the way we live, work, and relate to one another. As the Great Equalizer, in its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. The WCIT is based on four main pillars: speeches, exhibitions, B2B meetings, and social events.
