Major tech conference set for Zhejiang,
More than 1,500 guests will attend the sixth World Internet Conference on Oct 20-22 in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, China's top internet affairs regulator said Wednesday.
Representatives
from tech giants including Microsoft and Apple, and domestic internet and
technology enterprises such as Huawei and Tencent, will also take part in the
conference, he said.
The theme of this year's
conference is "Intelligent Interconnection for Openness and Cooperation:
Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace". Twenty
sub-forums on hot internet-related issues, such as artificial intelligence,
internet of things and 5G, will also be held, he said.
Meanwhile, a newly-added worldwide
contest called "Straight to Wuzhen" Global Internet Competition will
be unveiled during this year's conference, he said at a news conference held by
the State Council Information Office on Wednesday.
The
expo, to be held Oct 18-22, "will focus on enhancing the visitors' and
users' experiences by introducing technologies and products that integrate 5G,
AI and VR with people's daily lives," said Wu Junqing, deputy head of the
Department of Economy and Information Technology of Zhejiang.
Over 600 internet and innovative
enterprises from home and abroad have so far registered to display their 5G,
AI, cloud-computing, big data and cybersecurity products and technologies at
this year's expo.
Organizers will also host sideline
events such as a job fair and internet project matchmaking events to boost
collaboration and industrialization in the industry.
VR and sports-tech businesses will
also launch augmented reality booths to allow visitors have a firsthand
experience of smart living.
More than 1,500 guests will attend
the sixth World Internet Conference on Oct 20-22 in Wuzhen, the nation's top
internet affairs regulator said earlier this month.
Among them will be internet
experts, scholars, government officials, international organizations and
entrepreneurs.
During
the conference, important reports such as the 2019 China Internet Development
Report, the 2019 World Internet Development Report, and the World Leading
