The Canadian University Software Engineering Conference is scheduled next week in Montréal, and tickets are now avalaible. It’s a three-day conference where students from all over Canada learn about software engineering and its future from acclaimed speakers.
There are 3 main reasons on why it should go. First, there’s a democamp scheduled on Thursday Jan 17th, which is open to students, entrepreneurs and pretty much to everyone interested in technology. See it as an opportunity to see what “projects” computer science students have, because, hey, after all, Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook while in uni.
Second, they have an impressive list of speakers, such as Zed Shaw, who made the mongrel web server, Jeff Atwood, famous tech blogger who has more than 67.000 readers for his blog, Jeffrey Ullman (the Dragon Book and phd supervisor to Sergey Brin), Tim Bray (Sun, one of the founders of XML, atom) , Jon Udell (tech evangelist)
Sylvain Carle, from startup praized, will also be massively converting students to tech entrepreneurship explaining why Quebec should be independent share his experience in technology and startups.
The third reason on why you should attend is that tickets are actually affordable, compared to other CS conferences. Students can get one at $50, while normal tickets are at $150.
