Conference Overview

A conference to promote collaboration among IT staff at Waterloo

Information Technology (IT) is an integral part of the University of Waterloo’s mission to deliver academic excellence to its students, faculty and to the greater community. As IT support staff, we are privileged to be able to play an important role in the advancement and future of our institution. As our institution moves into the 6th decade, we would like you to celebrate with us this year’s theme “Making the Future” for this, the sixth annual Waterloo Information Technology and Information Systems (“WatITis”) conference.

The conference continues to promote the sharing and dissemination of the work and ideas of our computer support staff across campus, underscoring the importance of “collaborative IT” in UW’s mission to provide teaching and research excellence in an academic environment. Innovation and collaboration are a cornerstone of our IT profession.

We are pleased to be able to bring IT people together from all across campus to share our experiences and knowledge with a full day of topical presentations and discussion sessions. The conference is open to all staff, faculty and students involved in IT. Conference registration is free and includes lunch. However, there will be a $50 charge for no-shows. Registration begins late-October. Remember to register early as capacity is limited.

WatITis will be held Tuesday, December 2, 2008 in Rod Coutts Hall (RCH).
