March 23, 2011

HR4ICT is a global annual conference uniquely designed to address the rapid evolution of communication network technologies and their applications, how they are forcing operators and other key users to change the way they operate, and consequently, how they recruit, develop, deploy and manage their human resources. Visions, ideas, challenges, needs, success stories and best practices are presented by carefully selected speakers and discussed extensively over three days.

With these ever frequent technology changes, other sectors (banking and financial services, oil and gas, travel and hospitality, aviation, mining, etc) have become increasingly dependent on sound and secure ICT infrastructure and need high-quality talent to maintain the continuity, efficiency and profitability of their operations. With a theme focused on “Business Continuity Planning: Strategic and Organisational Imperatives in a Global Economy”, HR4ICT’11 will focus on the challenges faced by major communications user groups (telecoms, finance, transport, energy, etc) in developing and implementing effective business continuity programmes. Over 24 plenary and parallel sessions will address:

* Corporate strategies for BCP
* Communication networks security
* Resilient information systems
* Operational continuity
* Revenue protection
* Implications for HR

The event, organised by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) is taking place on March 21-23, 2011 in Nairobi (Kenya).
