2019 JTC Spring Symposium and Spring Unconference
Are you looking for a dynamic networking opportunity to meet with your peers from across Alberta? Are you seeking engaging breakout sessions? Are you interested in hearing from leaders across the province regarding their experiences and successes?
The second annual ATLE JTC Spring Symposium, sponsored by Compugen, will be held May 1, 2019, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Edmonton. Dana DiTomaso will keynote the day by challenging us to think about the graduating class of 2025 and what we need to do now to prepare them for that milestone event. The program is now published. Registration is open.
As was the case last year, the ProLearn Committee is planning an IT/ET Leadership Unconference, sponsored by ACSI/Fortinet, the previous day (April 30) at the same location. Registration for this event is also open. For further information, consult the Unconference brochure.

What to Expect at the JTC Symposium

Keynote Speaker: Dana DiTomaso
Congratulations Class of 2025!
Preeparing students for the challenges of 2025 is more than just making sure that everyone takes at least one how-to-code class. Our keynote speaker, Dana DiTomaso, will address the changing technology landscape and what that means for the lessons we teach our students now.
Dana is President & Partner at Kick Point, where she applies marketing into strategies to grow clients' businesses, in particular to ensure that digital and traditional play well together. With her deep experience in digital, Dana can separate real solutions from wastes of time (and budget).
In her spare time, Dana is the past-president of the Advertising Club of Edmonton and is the weekly technology columnist on CBC Edmonton AM. She also enjoys drinking fancy beer and yelling at football players.
Book Your Hotel Room Early!
Deadline to obtain the guaranteed symposium rate is March 29 or earlier if the block is sold out.
