It's not too late to register for the NZCS 50th Anniversary Conference next week.

This is a conference for innovators, entrepreneurs, educators and practitioners offering 8 major Keynotes, 40 presentations, 3 panels, an Innovation Barcamp and a number of workshops. One thing we can promise is it'll absolutely blow your mind.

This is no ordinary conference - this is THE ICT event for 2010 - a celebration 50 years in the making: half a century of ICT Innovation in New Zealand. This is a massive milestone and we've got a line-up to match.

Two international presenters mix with a selection of the country's top ICT innovators to cover all aspects of ICT in New Zealand.

Join kiwi Craig Nevill-Manning (the founder of Google's first remote engineering centre in Manhattan, USA) and Canadian Greg Lane (the National Director of the Canadian Council of IT Professionals), along with New Zealand innovative entrepreneurs Ian Taylor (Founder, Animation Research Ltd), Sam Morgan (Founder, Trade Me), Rod Drury (Founder, Xero), Nat Torkington (creator of Kiwi Foo Camp and the Open Govt Project), Ian McCrae (Founder, Orion Health) and Sam Knowles (founding CEO of KiwiBank).

This is a wholly engaging event designed to ignite your entrepreneurial spirit and equip you with the tools to succeed. With inspirational speakers, numerous panels and a debate, plus a series of workshops designed to grow innovation (details coming soon) and a full Innovation Barcamp, this will be a truly enlightening experience.

This is just the start, however - with another 32 top-tier presentations, this is an event not to be missed.
