The future belongs to Sri Lanka, not India or Eastern Europe

Despite the conflict in the north, Sri Lanka's outsourcing market still grew 23 percent during 2006-2007. With the conflict now over Sri Lanka is primed to be the next offshoring hub for the ITO and BPO markets. With the Colombo Stock Exchange aiming to double its capitalisation to $14 billion in a year and the government expected to almost double the nation’s 2009 growth forecast to five percent because of the increase in business confidence, the change in Sri Lanka is clear.

This first of its kind event will examine Sri Lanka as the future leader in the ITO and BPO markets, with esteemed speakers from the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, the British Computer Society and Quocirca Ltd discussing the opportunities and implications of offshoring to this key destination.

Delegates will get the opportunity to hear end user success stories and thoughts on Sri Lanka's prospects of becoming a leading player in the offshoring stage from HSBC and The History Press who currently operate in Sri Lanka.

The event will include:

• The state of the Sri Lankan economy and how the end of the conflict will positively impact business

• The outlook for offshoring to Sri Lanka, including grants and benefits for UK companies

• 10 leading suppliers showcasing what Sri Lanka really has to offer
