CUTC10: Grab the future, shape it, then ergonomically design it...


Dear Schulich School of Engineering Students

Our team invites you to the eleventh iteration of the Canadian Undergraduate
Technology Conference, from April 29th - 30th at the Ted Rogers School of
Management in Ryerson University, Toronto. 

The Canadian Undergraduate Technology Conference is the undisputed champion
of technology conferences in Canada being the largest and longest running.
We have unequivocally brought the hottest technology, most captivating
speakers, and true revolutionaries in their field to interact with the
leaders of tomorrow.

This year, 300 of Canada's most exceptional students will experience a new
and evolved conference that will shatter your preconceived notions and
expectations. Our most notable additions to CUTC come from our special
events:

.      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
A smartphone refined version of a scavenger hunt which involves scanning
barcodes spread across Ryerson University to locate 3 Blackberry smartphones

.      Dayforce Coding Challenge
Dayforce is out to find the best problem solver and programmer in Canada -
they'll be giving $2500 and an internship to whoever can pass the 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, our 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

In addition to an unrivaled keynote and seminar lineup, CUTC10 will be
making a Special Presentation with the original founders and technology
pioneers of IMAX!

Lastly, the CUTC10 team spent a tremendous amount of effort into perfecting
the conference networking experience. We believe we 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, join us as we cure the condition of the common conference.

Sincerely,
CUTC10 Executive Team
