The National Business and Technology Conference is a non-profit and student-run initiative that has become one of the best quality student conferences in Toronto. It’s coming back this year on March 19th-20th at MaRS Collaboration Centre and it promises to be a groundbreaking event fostering and empowering future leaders. Addressing the social, scientific, and commercial aspects of business and technology, conference delegates of all disciplines are given the opportunity to learn, explore, and network with well-established professionals from academia and industry as well as other like-minded individuals across Canada.

This year’s event features keynote speaker Anthony Lacavera, chairman of WIND Mobile and, appropriately enough, a U of T Electrical Engineering 9T7. Other notable speakers will be at the event some of which include George Ross, Sean Neville, and Peter Evans. The NBTC will also be holding various seminars, panel discussions, and workshops to help hone students’ understanding, skills, and expertise. Finally, there are two competitions that offer incredible opportunities for participants. The Consulting Competition is offering a $1000 cash prize and the Entrepreneurship Competition has a prize valued at $25,000! This is an opportunity not to be missed so visit their website at www.nbtc.ca for more information and registration!
