ITAO Expo in bhubaneswar: Freeze frame!

Inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Orissa, Naveen Patnaik, ITAO IT

Expo-2005 took off with a bang. Though the rush hour saw almost everything a

little behind schedule, with even the lead sponsor HCL frantically putting up

its stall long after the expo was declared open. Nevertheless, the show lived up

to the expectation. Apart from the regular stalls showcasing all that there is

to IT products, there was an OEM-Reseller meet. About 95 resellers from across

the state came over to participate. At the interactive session the issues ranged

from finance to replacements. Gathering its mite for Tsunami victims the

association also handed over a cheque of Rs 1 lakh to State Chief Minister.

Also, a comprehensive ITAO directory was released at the expo.
