What To Expect

A woman's arm is poised to write with a pen on a white paper.

The annual TMU IT Conference attracts approximately 350 participants each year, including TMU faculty, staff and students and external guests. Our signature cybersecurity conference track brings together our internal community with Chief Information Officers (CIOs), IT leaders and IT providers from across Canada at fellow universities, colleges and the broader public sectors.

Attendees can expect to learn about IT initiatives happening at TMU, as well as the latest news and trends in the field. Participants will attend breakout sessions in a variety of formats on topics that include:

  • current IT projects on campus;
  • cybersecurity at TMU and beyond;
  • technology trends;
  • new IT products and services;
  • IT in teaching and learning;
  • IT in administration and projects; and
  • innovative uses for IT.

Who should attend?

This conference is open to all faculty, staff and students at TMU. Content covered is relevant to those who are interested in gaining insight into technology projects, products and services offered at the university.

As always, we also welcome CIOs, IT leaders and IT providers from Canadian universities, colleges and the broader public sectors to participate in and attend sessions in the cybersecurity track. If you are external to the university and are interested in attending the conference’s cybersecurity track, please contact Jennifer Parkin, manager, IT business analysis, at jparkin@torontomu.ca for more information.
