The session focussed on generating ideas for the future by bringing various st­akeholders in the IT industry, technical experts, bloggers, up and coming IT savvy youngsters and senior government officials together.

Among the innovative ideas generated were, solar and wind powered chargers for the mobile phones and a common charger to fit all mobiles. Ashok, an MCA student of the PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore came up with the idea of providing information about a phone caller’s location to the receiver.The ideas generated at the conference will be presented at the Connect 2009 conference, to be held at the Chennai trade centre on September 11 and 12. The conference will be inaugurated by union communications and IT minister A Raja.
