BASIS to hold IT fairs in 5 cities


Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) will hold IT fairs in five cities this year.

The first of the series of fairs will be held in Chittagong from May 11 to 13 at Banani Complex.

Other fairs will take place in Sylhet, Khulna, Bogra and Rajshahi. But the timetable of the remaining fairs has not been fixed yet, Fahim Mashroor, convener of the Basis fairs, told a press conference in Dhaka yesterday.

Software and IT services companies, internet services providers, hardware and multimedia companies and telecoms services providers both from Dhaka and Chittagong will participate in the fair.

“40 organisations have already confirmed their participation and we expect a total of 50 organisations will join the fair," Mashroor said.

Free from entry fees, visitors will get free internet browsing facilities at the fairs.
