CUTC 2010 - What's next?

While it seems like most of the action has shifted over to Facebook, and even more so Twitter, it looks like there are still some folks who feel like there is a place for blogging without the word "micro" in front of it...it's nice to meet you, and please comment if you'd like to see us continue to use this forum!

This is a quick post to spread the latest on plans for CUTC 2010. CUTC 2010 will be the inaugural year for an ambitious new goal for the CUTC—to form an executive team of the top student leaders and technology enthusiasts from across Canada.

After all, what better way to bring the best technology leaders to Canada's students, than to get Canada's best student talent to work on CUTC together!

No matter your location, your studies, or your experience, we are looking for more leaders who believe in the CUTC mission, and are passionate about technology.

Interested?

If you've heard enough and want to join the team, download this form and apply now.

If you need more information, head to the CUTC website, watch any of our collection of CUTC videos, or contact us directly at getinvolved (at) cutc (dot) ca. But don't procrastinate because the leadership team is going to fill quickly (we've already received some pretty impressive applications), and real deadlines will be coming up soon!

CUTC goes to CIO/09: Shift Happens Communitech Conference

Yesterday was Communitech's CIO/09: Shift Happens conference and some of the CUTC team (Scott, Ryan and me) were out there to listen and learn from these technology experts. Some of the highlights included the closing keynote Don Tapscott, author of "Wikinomics" who presented a thoughtful and enlightening talk on the future of technology and where it will take us. Check out his twitter and see if you can spott us - http://twitpic.com/2otzo (hint: look at the center :P).

We also connected again with Eugene Roman who did an excellent job as the opening keynote (I seem to be noticing a trend from his speaking position at CUTC 2009). He mentioned the results of his informal polls from CUTC a few times - apparently only 10% of the delegates this year admitted to owning a blackberry (well that is now 2 more people thanks to Sean Loyd from Ring Wireless who gave them away as prizes for the Unified Communications TechTeam!).

Of course, I can't forget to mention the excellent breakout sessions that I attended by IBM and Cisco. All in all it was an excellent day of listening, learning and meeting some great people! I can't wait for the next Communitech event :)
