Co-op partners with tech innovators at conference

Wednesday, April 13, 2016

Next month, the Canadian Undergraduate Technology Conference (CUTC) will give students the chance to connect with industry experts in technology and entrepreneurship. Co-operative Education (CE) is a proud partner of CUTC, and the event has been connected to the university since it was first organized by Waterloo students in 1999. Since then, it has attracted 4,500 students and over 200 industry partners.

Hosted at the MaRS Convention Centre in Toronto, an urban hot-spot for innovation, CUTC Imagine is a two day conference that will feature talks and workshops by industry leaders including Waterloo alumnus Ted Livingston, founder and CEO of Kik.

Over the years CUTC has earned recognition from some reputable sources. A notable tip-of-the-hat came from the 20th Prime Minister of Canada, Jean Chrétien, who said, “CUTC provides an excellent opportunity for personal development while offering important insights into the dynamic and fast-paced world of new technologies. Each [attendee] is committed to excellence, and I am certain that this conference will assist in preparing [guests] for the challenges of the future.
