</i>(19 September 2014 in Szeged, Hungary) is pleased to announce its advanced program at

<br>
<br>
We look forward to an exceptional event focusing on ICT developments in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe, starting in the 1940s. Among our speakers are computer pioneers who will share personal remembrances of the early days of computing. The function of
ICT museums will be considered and an overview of IBM's role in Central and Eastern Europe will be discussed. The post-conference book will be published within the IT STAR Series.<br>
