Intersog is heading to Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city and IT talent pool after Kiev, to attend the biggest nearshoring event in Eastern Europe – the Outsource People 2013 conference. The event will take place on 22-23 November 2013 and promises to gather over 400 participants and feature 40 speakers in 2 parallel session streams.

The key goal of the conference is to encourage knowledge exchange in the areas of business IT outsourcing and IT services outsourcing market consolidation. The expected outcome is to push Ukrainian IT service providers to team up and build self-organized local IT communities that would foster instant sharing of ideas, best practices and IT project requests.

Top speakers include Roman Khmil, one of the leading IT strategists in Eastern Europe, Jan Willem Trom, an experienced multi-project management professional, and other recognized “pundits” of Eastern European IT business.

Key topics to be addressed at the event include:

• Ukraine’s IT legislation changes expected in 2014
• Ukrainian technopark projects: Bionic Hill and Technopolis
• Business and marketing strategy for IT outsourcing service providers
• Challenges facing Ukrainian IT export service providers
• IT HR management in a multi-project environment
