It is a forum for the sharing of knowledge through the presentation of research carried out on various aspects of ICT in the region.

Publicity for the conference was made through many conference promotion sites which led to more site access from over 100 countries. Conference also attracted around 15 international submissions in addition around 60 local papers.
