Submit your abstract

This year’s conference will be held primarily at two venues located at the University of Toronto (St. George campus).

Bahen Centre for Information Technology
Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship

While we do not have a preferred conference hotel, both the Annex Hotel (296 Brunswick Ave) and the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel (123 Queen St W) are a 15-20 mins walk from campus.
