PAST SPEAKERS QUOTES:
“It’s the most fun I‘ve had at a conference yet. I'll definitely be back again.”
- Dr. Jim Mitchell, Fellow & Vice President Sun Labs, Sun Microsystems
“I strongly recommend any undergraduate in any discipline to get involved … If you are asked to support this conference, get involved. It is you and your company's chance to make a positive contribution to Canada's future.”
- Bob Young, CEO Lulu Inc, Co-Founder & Chairman Red Hat Inc.
"Science and technology are becoming more important to every aspect of our life from medicine through the arts to government and how we live and work together. The most important technology in all of this is that of the human and our social structures. CUTC is a great example of science and technology students breaking out of their areas of specialization and learning about the larger issues, and the context in which their studies fit. In that, it is invaluable, and provides an all too rare and all too much neglected opportunity."
- Bill Buxton, Chief Scientist, Alias|Wavefront
“To invest time with so many undergraduates pursuing technical studies is an opportunity not to be missed. I say that because the world's technology needs continue to grow, and the need for technical talent has never been more crucial. The students attending CUTC already know that we are on the threshold of unprecedented advances in our understanding and application of technology. Their collective skills and drive will bring those advancements to the forefront, and the opportunities for them are virtually endless.
- Helene Armitage, Vice President of Technology, IBM
