New Delhi, Apr 16 (UNI) The changes in the world of IT and communications will be the centre of discussion at the annual technology trends event, Directions09, to be held in Delhi and Bangalore on April 30 and May 2 respectively.

The key speakers include IDC Country Manager Kapil Dev Singh, journalist and economic commentator Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, Zensar Technologies CEO Ganesh Natarajan, IDC's Industry Insights Vice President for Asia/Pacific Cort Isernhagen and IDC India analysts.

''Directions09 will examine all the ways the world of IT and communications is changing -- from globalisation to virtualisation, from software as a service to services as software, from changing network technology to the technology of social networks -- and how those changes will affect customers, suppliers, and IT marketers'', said IDC Head of Research Sanjit Sinha.

A specific session on adoption of technology products will dwell on how spending will be driven by the value that the consumer perceives in an age of choices with respect to connectivity and access devices.
