Why present?

As an academic community, we value and encourage knowledge-sharing and idea exchange. As a presenter, you’re helping to spread useful information that could help other areas of the university.

Plus, it’s a great opportunity to share new learnings or show off your work! 

Who can present?

Proposals from all TMU community members, groups, projects and operations are welcome.

What should your presentation be about?

We welcome a broad range of topics, provided they are related to IT. Presentation ideas from previous years include:

  • providing updates on IT projects in your area;
  • sharing information on specific IT services;
  • discussing responses to cybersecurity challenges;
  • demonstrating or workshopping a particular technology product; and
  • panel discussions about issues impacting the IT industry.

Share in the format of your choice

All presentations will be scheduled for a maximum of 50 minutes to encourage engagement and allow room for participant discussions, socializing and networking. Presentation styles can include:

  • Individual or joint presentations
  • Panel discussions
  • Workshops
  • Project showcases
  • Product demonstrations
