Exposition, organized by the Industrial Management Science Students’ Association (IMSSA) at the University of Kelaniya, has been a pivotal event for nearly two decades, bridging the gap between Management and IT fields.
In 2024, the Exposition underwent significant expansion with the introduction of Exposition Industrial Week, featuring participation from leading companies in the industry. Over 300 students engaged in interviews, seminars, and knowledge-sharing sessions conducted by industry giants. Exposition Issue 19 featured a diverse array of content, including research articles, undergraduate achievements, and interviews with prominent industry figures such as Mr. Dian Gomes, the Honorary Consul of Georgia at the Honorary Consulate of Georgia in Colombo, who is also the former Chairman of Hela Clothing and the former Group Director of MAS Holdings. Other notable interviewees included Ms. Kanchana Priyakantha, the founder and CEO of KReader; Dr. Ananda Handunge, CEO of the Solid Tyre Division at Ferentino Tyres; Dr. Upendra Peiris, CEO of OREL IT; and Mr. Santhush Weeraman, Managing Director of BNS Productions and SGM Films.
The launching event of Exposition Issue 19 encompassed a keynote address by Mr. Dian Gomes, Edify inter-university and intra-departmental article competition award ceremony, and a recognition of research excellence among undergraduates. The Exposition Industrial Forum 2024 was a highlight of the day and focused on "Data Democracy," featuring notable panelists discussing challenges in the digital age. Overall, the event provided a platform for students to interact with corporate entities and gain valuable insights. The success of this year's Exposition sets the stage for future editions, promising continued engagement and innovation.
