A Student-driven Event

The IST Future Forum is a technology showcase that brings together all the players in the IST family to explore trends and emerging issues in the IT field. The intent is to involve the IST Advisory Board, faculty, alumni, industry and government partners in discussions that will benefit your education and your decisions about career opportunities.

Specifically, the 2009 IST Future Forum will:
  • Be held just prior to Penn State's Blue/White weekend with key activities between 10:00 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on April 24.
  • Over 500 guests attended the event last year, and we expect that number to grow for 2009.
  • Include a combination of networking, cutting-edge technology demonstrations, information presentations, and panel discussions.
  • Features a keynote presentation by John McBeth, Next Century Corporation president, CEO and founding member.
  • Attend the Keynote Presentation and get a chance to win a Best Buy gift card.
Registration opens on April 1, 2009.
