ow industry-famous, our IVC debuted in February 2008 and up until September 2012 had held every 2nd Wednesday of every month N

except for the months of January. By September 2012, we had hosted 50 highly impactful, thought-generating and insightful sessions with guest speakers, drawn from various walks of life: leaders of thought, captains of industry and decision makers.

Our 50th edition of the IVC Breakfast Forum was combined with the Firm's accreditation to the ISO 27001 globally renowned standard. Held on September 14, 2012, this colourful and high profile occasion was value packed with the CEOs, CIOs and senior level managers in attendance.

In ensuring that the IVC Breakfast forum continues to be an effective knowledge sharing and information exchange platform, the forum will now hold quarterly rather than monthly. We therefore look forwarding to hosting four very engaging, insightful and highly interactive sessions every year. We are confident that each session will provide insights that will enhance your professional output.

Highlights of 2012

DJ Cares, Digital Jewels' Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative had an

impactful and interesting run in 2012. It kicked off its career counselling and

awareness seminar in 2012 with the students of the Computer Science

Department, Lagos State Polytechnic, LASPOTECH, Ikorodu Campus. The

career seminar, which was in conjunction with the HOD of Computer Science

Department and LASPOTECH's NACOSS executives, was aptly titled “See the

Need and Take the Lead”. The highly interactive and insightful session had

over 150 students in attendance.

In the third quarter, DJ Cares moved to Yaba College of Technology, YABATECH

for another impactful collaboration with the NACOSS executives of YABATECH
