The event hosts vendors and offers ample networking opportunities to TAIT members during the evening meetings.

The board has also begin enthusiastic planning for a 5 day TAIT Cricket Tournament (Day/Night) – a highly anticipated tournament among the entire IT fraternity. Scheduled to be held in January, the mega event is designed to create a friendly bonding among the IT fraternity, off the ‘cubicle’ and bring out the competitive spirit among teams (comprising of members, vendors, brand owners/ representatives as well as distributors and staff) to win the most Coveted IT Cup of India.

The tournament is already receiving a positive response from several MNCs/Brands and Vendors, some of whom have already confirmed their participation for the event.
