Are you looking for something fun to do after your exams?  If so, then why not go to CUTC, the Canadian Undergraduate Technology Conference?  At CUTC, you will join 300 of Canada’s most exceptional university students to experience a new and evolved type of conference; one that will shatter your preconceived notions and expectations.

Some of the activities that you will take part in at the CUTC include:

Google Case Challenge
A rich blend of strategy, marketing, and ingenuity wrapped into a single intense session of problem solving – the winning team will be rewarded with Android smartphones and interviews from Google.

RIM InfraTag
The only thing between you and three new Blackberry smartphones is getting to them on time!  Follow your gut, instinct, and your barcode-reading smartphone to the treasure!

Dayforce Coding Challenge
Dayforce is out to find the best problem solver and programmer in Canada — they’ll be giving $2500 cash and an internship to whoever can pass their test.

IdeaRoulette
Pitch your ideas, thoughts, and talents for 5 minutes. Anything goes; however, a Twitter fueled fiber optics display will determine if you can keep going.

Naturally, the conventional conference events such as a trade-show style DesignTechExpo, small group seminars, and outstanding keynote speakers were not an afterthought. This year’s conference takes on the theme of interacting with the future through the human and technology interface.  To offer this unique perspective, the keynote speaker list includes:

·      Bill Buxton
Principal Researcher – Microsoft Research

·      Todd Wood
Vice President, Industrial Design – Research In Motion

·      Hadi Mahabadi
Vice President & Director – Xerox Research Centre of Canada

·      Naweed Syed
Head of Cell Biology and Anatomy – University of Calgary

·      Web Exclusive: Ron Burnett
President + Vice-Chancellor – Emily Carr University of Art + Design

Want to know how to land your dream job?  There will be a panel of recruiters and hiring managers that will answer your questions and give you the inside scoop on what they really look for!

In addition to an unrivaled keynote and seminar lineup, CUTC10 will be making a special presentation to the original founders and technology pioneers of IMAX, who have revolutionized the movie industry as we know it.  Join us as we celebrate a true Canadian success story!

Lastly, the CUTC10 team spent a tremendous amount of effort into perfecting the conference networking experience. They have revolutionized networking and mingling by foregoing the awkward fusions of sub-par meals and forced conversation. Instead, CUTC10 features networking events that will be held in Toronto’s trendiest new hot spots without the pedestrian omissions of classical student conferences.

The CUTC10 team has set out to create the event of the year in every possible measure, so why not be part of this new conference experience?

Visit www.cutc.ca for more details and to register immediately!  The conference runs from April 29 to April 30 at the Ted Rogers School of Management building at Ryerson University.

This is an opportunity that is not to be missed.  So what are you waiting for?  Sign up today!
