Foremost among these were the road shows of the e-Society of ICTA conducted in coincidence with the exhibition.

The e-Society Programme of ICTA which organised this awareness effort is one of the six programmes through which ICTA attempts to fulfil its mandate of implementing the e-Sri Lanka initiative. The e-Sri Lanka initiative is the Government’s endeavour to ensure the optimum accrual of the benefits of ICT to every Sri Lankan. More details could be obtained from www.icta.lk.
