The delegation of Armenian IT companies led by Communication, IT and Transport ministry officials is heading for India to attend the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) to be held in Hyderabad on February 19-21. As the Union of Information Technology Enterprises of Armenia (UITE) reports, our country participates in the event for the ninth time.

WCIT is the largest and the most reputable international event among worldwide IT leaders. It brings together high-level officials from different countries, heads of multinational organizations, universities and scientific research centers, non-governmental organizations' representatives and many more.
The event includes discussions of legal, political and economic trends affecting IT business processes, presentations of innovative solutions, B2B meetings and so on. The WCIT has been held since 1978.

In the frames of the event, the baton of the next Congress – WCIT 2019 – will be passed to Armenia, as our country will host the major IT conference in 2019. Armenia has been approved as the hosting country for WCIT 2019 during the meeting of the WITSA's board of directors at WCIT 2014 Mexico.

It is expected 2000-2500 delegates from more than 80 countries of the world. WCIT 2019 will be the first Congress being held in Europe since 2010.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
