Origin, Purpose, and Commitment of the EITC
The Emerging Information and Technology Conference (EITC) is a comprehensive international forum (the EITA-EITC forum) initiated and established in 1999 by Michael Hwa-Han Wang, a researcher, investor, advisor, former researcher and manager at AT&T Bell Labs in New Jersey.
He recognized that the revolution in Information Technology (IT) in the 1990s had profound effects on the U.S. economy and other nations in the Asian-Pacific region, all of whom changed their industrial structures over the course of the deepening U.S. IT revolution.
In the coming era of the Internet and Artificial Intelligence (AI), emerging technological trends and new scientific developments will have an even more profound impact on the way we work, live, play, and learn.
The Emerging Information and Technology Conferences (EITCs) promote discussion and free exchange at the forefront of emerging technology and service research.
People with shared professional interests from around the world gather for several days of in-depth discussions exploring the latest developments in their respective fields.
These conferences provide a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas that are not readily available through traditional channels such as publications an presentations at major professional conferences.
Mission Statement

The objectives of the annual meetings are:
-
to strengthen the technical and business ties among Asian, North American, European, and World universities, R&D institutions, and industries;
-
to bring together experts and industry leaders to share technological advancements and business experiences; and
-
to jointly explore opportunities in emerging technologies and services.
The EITC Logo Design
The EITC promotes interdisciplinary research, which involves the
acquisition of cross-disciplinary knowledge through collaboration of experts from various academic disciplines. The future of research lies in the active exchange of ideas, concepts, and methods from various disciplines.
The EITC is a
non-political, non-religious and non-profit international organization. The
colorful stripes and words of the EITC logo design represent different academic
disciplines. They are not associated with any nations or political parties.
The EITC logo first appeared: January, 2007.
