iConference 2024

 
MARCH 16, 2024

The iConference is an annual, student-run conference at the University of Toronto Faculty of Information (iSchool). The iConference provides iSchool students with the opportunity to gain valuable professional development experience by presenting and sharing their academic and/or professional work in a supportive conference setting. This year, our one-day conference will present student research, have a faculty panel, workshops and an exhibition/showcase for students to display physical and digital items for all to see throughout the conference.
