Stay ahead of the curve with the University of Waterloo’s Tech Horizons Executive Forum, brought to you by WatSPEED and hosted by CIBC. This exclusive, one-day event brings together global leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore how technology and human ingenuity are driving resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable growth.

This workshop will focus on using technical tools, Covidence, to streamline the review process, as well as a reference manager, Zotero, to work with the search results from your structured review to generate in-cite citations and an automated bibliography.

A space where you can write without judgment, rest without guilt, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges in their academic journeys.

Drop in to write, meet with a writing advisor, or just enjoy a warm drink and a moment of calm. No pressure, no critique—just a space to be seen, supported, and productive on your own terms.

Write in community – not in isolation.
