Hosting Canada’s Largest Undergrad Tech Conference

This weekend was the 12th Annual CUTC.ca, and Casie and I hosted the event at University of Toronto.

These kids were great; all on their own volition they organized, travelled and paid their way. Pretty sure this group is indeed our future.

Introducing your hosts!

And THAT is my very own personal QR Code boom boom.

They made it for me and put it on the back of my badge, I always wanted one.  I’ve been preoccupied with QR codes since ’08, because I blogged about them over at Canadian Explorer then, ahhh the benefit of having a blog.

If you scan it it’ll kick your phone right over to here, my blog.

Non-nerds: QR Codes (quick response) are elaborate bar codes that hold a ridiculous amount of information, like a small book. They’ve been in wide use in Europe and especially Japan, and are finally making their way here. Here’s the Wiki page.

During lunch we found a video game area and settled into play our respecitve favourite games: Casie dancing, me Call of Duty.

I should really get and start using a proper camera huh.

Like Casie’s Olympus, which captured this moment of me finally meeting Adam and  Adil (below) of MyCityLives.com

They’re doing awesome things combining online video and maps,  you gotta check out their site – “you discover and share videos around your location on culture, art and entertainment”.

What’s this park like?  Now I’m watching a video educating me, this is good… like that.

From May 2011

Thanks for having us, CUTC.ca, and congratulations everyone on a successful conference!

Hi CUTC Conference Pals

Nice to meet you!

I’m Keri, the girl standing on stage this weekend in the tuxedo jacket, here: @KeriBlog

I’m excited to be here, and what struck me was that all you guys gave up your weekend and paid your own way to be here, you’re serious, well done!

Readers at home – this is Canada’s largest Undergraduate Technology Conference – CUTC.ca

A bit about me – I’ve been making online videos since 2007, had an internet show called The Canadian Explorer and technically you could sit down and watch me for 7 hours straight.

I”ll embed below a few I think you’ll like best, based on the topics of your conference (thought computing come ON, was pretty obsessed last year), and here’s to a great weekend guys!

TTYS
