A Student-driven Event to Showcase Emerging Technology

Join us for the sixth annual IST Future Forum on Friday, April 24, 2009. The Future Forum is a student-driven technology showcase that brings together large and small companies, IST faculty, industry leaders, and students to explore future trends and emerging issues in the field of IT.

How can you participate?

At this event, your company will reach students in the College of IST who are engaged in the career selection process and learn about opportunities for joint-research initiatives with our faculty.

Through interactive demonstrations, simulations, displays, and posters, you can illustrate how you are utilizing technology to do business today, and explore innovations being developed for the next 5-10 years.
