Themed 'Smart Destinations - a Knowledge Hub that brings to you the latest in technological advancements and innovations', the expo has Sri Lanka Telecom comingd as Platinum sponsor for the second consecutive year.

Open to the public from 9 am to 8 pm on all days, the exhibition aims at bringing IT closer to young adults and students and make it an accessible tool in their day-to-day lives.

"As an organisation which takes technology to the rural masses and plays a major role in putting Sri Lanka on the global network, Sri Lanka Telecom recognises the importance of this exhibition in showcasing the advancement of technology for the benefit of mainly the student community," said Chief Network Officer, Sri Lanka Telecom, M. B. P. Fernandez.

Several corporates and leading ICT companies will take part in 'Info-V 2015' which is expected to attract more than 15,000 visitors on a daily basis.

Principal, Visakha Vidyalaya, Mrs. Sandamali Aviruppola said that the primary objective of the exhibition is to enhance the use of ICT on a broader perspective among young adults and schoolchildren for effective learning and development.

"Until now, ICT in Sri Lanka has predominantly been a male domain. We wish to change this radically and include as many women as possible to balance the inequality.

Our final goal is to equip them with IT knowledge to lead a smarter lifestyle. We also wish to support the national policy of achieving 75% ICT literacy by 2016," she said.
