7th Annual STAN Conference – November 4 and 5, 2010
Marriott Hotel, Ottawa, ON
“Building Connections” is the theme of the 2010 Science and Technology Awareness Network conference. One of STAN’s goals this year is to encourage dialogue and connections between students and professionals in science, engineering and technology. On Friday the 5th of November from 1-3pm, STAN will host a Q & A event with three aims: to encourage youth to become involved in STAN and the science, engineering and technology community, to provide an opportunity for young talent to interview and network with professionals in their specialty, and to allow organizations to better understand what young talent is looking for in an employer. The event will open with a panel discussion, followed by round-table discussions mediated by an expert at each table. An open networking session, with refreshments, will wrap up the event. STAN has asked innovative leaders in the science and technology fields to be part of the panel or the round-table discussions on Friday November 5th to encourage communication between students and professionals in science and technology.
We encourage you to participate in the event at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel and join in the dialogue. Registration is free. Please check out the STAN website for additional information. We look forwarding to hearing your ideas.
Full conference information can be found on the STAN website. There is a student rate for the STAN conference.
