This will be the second Grid showcase APEC will be holding since the first held in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), at APECTEL 33 in April 2006. The Grid Showcase held this year will show the Grid progress achieved by the APEC economies three years later.
Objectives of the Grid Showcase are:
a) To provide a platform for economies to share and have exchanges on the latest Grid developments.
b) To demonstrate to TEL the possibility of Grids and the benefits it can bring domestically and to the APEC economies.
c) To encourage stronger and more cohesive Grid collaborations at APECTEL.
The Grid Showcase will be held together with APECTEL 39 Networking Night, on 16 April 2009 from 1800 – 2200 hrs at Suntec Convention Centre, Gallery East, Level 3. This session is exclusively opened to all delegates with the official APECTEL 39 badges.
