February of every year, the city of Mumbai sees a different profile of visitors – the stalwarts of the global IT world. The ‘NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2009’ will be held from February 11-13, 2009 at the Hotel Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. The theme for this years’ event is “Reshaping the global economy”.

The NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2009, a milestone event that will mark NASSCOM’s 20th year, will bring under one roof industry leaders, thought gurus, analysts, Government decision makers, academia and IT users from across the world. The conference will be attended by Global CEOs, International CIOs, Analysts, Consultants, Influencers, Thought Leaders, Academicians and Senior Government Officials and will feature multiple forums and conclaves in parallel tracks across three days. NASSCOM 2009 will offer participants a vast spectrum of must-attend keynote addresses, panel discussions, and special sessions that will touch on the important issues concerning the IT-BPO industry.

Iridium interactive, India’s leading web and interactive company has partnered with NASSCOM to create a SOCIAL Networking product, called NASSCOM Connect, to add value to the NASSCOM ILF delegate experience. NASSCOM Connect is a social networking platform which is a combination of Linked-in and Facebook, that will help attendees and delegates to maintain ties and continue their dialogue in the virtual space. A unique platform, the NASSCOM Connect enables the delegates to touchbase with each other before the event kicks off on February 11th at Mumbai. Within the last week we have seen 40,359 page impressions with about 1,000+ connections amongst the delegates, for this platform.

With ‘NASSCOM Connect’, delegates can benefit from the following:

* Connect with delegates before and after the event.
* Meet delegates who are attending the same sessions to discuss similar experiences and challenges around the topic.
* Meet other delegates to compare notes on exhibitors and products
* Meet exhibitors to learn more about their products and services.
* Powerful Search Features will enable finding new delegates of specific skills, interests and geographic location.

In Mumbai, NASSCOM CONNECT will have all that is needed to give an opportunity to delegates, exhibitors, speakers, editors and analysts to introduce, network, ideate and Engage with each other prior to arriving at the event.
