WICT 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person
and fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two
modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the
technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster
sessions. WICT 2023 Organising Committee also recognises the benefits
of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This
allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend.
Selected authors will have the option to attend and present the papers
virtually or present in one of the three venues in Europe and Asia.

Proceedings of WICT'23 will be published with Springer Verlag in their
Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series.

**About WICT 2023**
------------------

After the success of the 12th World Congress on Information and
Communication Technologies (WICT 2022), we are organizing WICT 2023
to provide an opportunity for the researchers from academia and
industry to meet and discuss the latest solutions, scientific results
and methods in the usage and applications of ICT in the real world.
The conference programme will include workshops, special sessions and
tutorials, along with prominent keynote speakers and regular paper
presentations in parallel tracks.

In the past century, our society has been through several periods of
dramatic changes, driven by innovations such as transportation systems,
telephone etc. Last few decades have experienced technologies that are
evolving so rapidly, altering the constraints of space and time, and
reshaping the way we communicate, learn and think. Rapid advances in
information technologies and other digital systems are reshaping our
ecosystem. Innovations in ICT allow us to transmit information quickly
and widely, propelling the growth of new urban communities, linking
distant places and diverse areas of endeavor in productive new ways,
which a decade ago was unimaginable. Thus, the theme of this World
Congress is "Innovating ICT For Social Revolutions".
