Indian software businesses have traditionally been driven by the low cost advantage. However with rising costs and a stronger rupee, India no longer is a cheap destination for IT. Hence IT can continue to thrive in India only if India moves up the value chain, works on the latest in technology and develops new technologies of its own. 
<br /> 
<br /> A prerequisite for this change in IT work is the availability of education in the latest technology as well as a chance to interact with technology thought leaders. India can become a technology leader only if the best IT companies and brains take Indian IT into innovation based businesses.
<br /> 
<br /> The annual IndicThreads.com International Conference On JavaTM Technology is an attempt to facilitate this transformation of Indian IT. With over 5 million software developers using Java worldwide, Java is one of the most commonly used software development platforms. The conference is a source of Java knowledge and expertise of international standards. Expert speakers from India, US and Sri Lanka will share their knowledge on the latest in the Java software development space. The event enables learning and exchange of ideas in a fun and interactive environment.
<br /> 
<br /> IndicThreads.com Conference On Java Technology 2007

<br /> Dates - 26th and 27th October 2007
<br /> Web - <a href ="http://conference.indicthreads.com/" target="_blank">http://conference.indicthreads.com/</a>
<br />  
<br /> The conference is a vendor-neutral event. It has two parallel session tracks running on both days. Sessions at the conference deal with topics like Spring, EJB3, SOA, Web Services, Axis, Java VoIP, JSF, Ajax, Dependency Injection, Refactoring, Patterns, Enterprise 2.0, Mashups, Wicket, Mobile Java, Embedded Java and Tapestry. The speaker list consists of well known names like Ivelin Ivanov, Deepal Jayasinghe, Paulo Caroli, Jags Ramanarayan, Amit Bhayani, Debu Panda, Harshad Oak, Karthik Gurumurthy, Ramesh Loganathan, Peter Thomas and Swarraj Kulkarni.
<br /> 
<br /> Harshad Oak, Founder Rightrix Solutions and the author of several international books and articles on Java says "The conference last year was the first such independent conference in India and over 150 delegates from across India participated and brainstormed about technology. I am most excited about what new developments might come out of the conference this year."
<br /> 
<br /> Sangeeta Oak, Director-Research &amp; Projects, Rightrix Solutions adds "Software companies today realize that with India fast losing the low cost advantage, it is critical that they invest into research and learning and move up the technology value chain as quickly as possible."
