Future Forum

A Student-driven Event to Showcase Emerging Technology

Join us for the fifth annual IST Future Forum on Friday, April 18, 2008. The Future Forum is a student-driven event 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 IST students 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 showcase how you are utilizing technology to do business today, and explore innovations being developed for the next 5-10 years.
