International Conference on Computer and Information Technology or ICCIT is a series of Computer Science and Information Technology based conference is being hosted in Bangladesh since 1997 by a different university each year [ [http://www.iccit.net/about.html History of ICCIT from its 10th event website] ] . ICCIT provides a forum for researchers and professionals from both academia and industry to exchange up-to-date knowledge and experience in different fields of Computer Science/Engineering and Information and Communication Technology.

Probably it was the first initiative to organize IT based conference at a large extent. Very next year in 1998, this conference was renamed to its current name and gained international status by opening its door to the outer world. Since then each year a university approved by the ICCIT committee hosts this event during the late December.
