“Winning the early-bird raffle just a week into my time as a staff member in 2003 was such an unexpected treat. It was a great experience to sit down with Marden and talk about IT at the university, and I haven’t missed the conference since. Looking forward to another great year of re-connecting with colleagues across the three campuses and hearing about all the great things that are happening in IT at U of T.”
