We are excited to announce that Carleton University is to co-host an event that will engage IT professionals from Ontario’s universities in discussions around Building IT.
The Ontario University Computing Conference (OUCC), being held at the University of Ottawa from May 31st to June 1st, will feature a variety of sessions focused on inventing, planning, supporting, developing and communicating IT.
Ralph Michaelis, CIO of ITS, says “Co-hosting OUCC allows us the wonderful opportunity to make contact with other Ontario universities and to share ideas with other IT professionals. It allows Carleton to showcase its work, its projects, and it presents an excellent forum to gain recognition for the great work that we’re doing.”
