Right now I'm sitting in the lobby typing and waiting for it to be time to grab a cab. Haven't gone to sleep today (we had another karaoke session tonight and then the party just kept going on in the hotel. But back up about 24 hours to when I was waking up...
... It is pretty hard to believe its the last day of conference. In the morning we finished off our Global Engineering (GE) work. There was a job fair and I took the chance to discuss the aerospace with one of the Bombardier engineers. Lunch included chapter awards and some minor speeches (just to warm up for the Gala). Following lunch was a panel on Canada's role in the world and the panalists had suprisingly close views. This was a great session -- the panalists had lots to share and the questions were well posed.
In the afternoon we had a team meeting for all the SO volunteers, and I gathered ideas ranging from how to engage new volunteers to applying for massive NSERC grants. Then we had chapter meetings and we started applying our new design skills to sharing our conference learning with the rest of the chapter. Look forward to this in the next couple weeks.
The gala dinner ended the conference, complete with great speeches from George and Parker, and the conference prep team. Lots of dancing, talking and saying good bye to everyone.
We'll thats it for my conference blog, I hope it was a useful way of sharing our conference events. We will be running some sessions at school over the next couple weeks, so if any of these events sounded fun (with the possible exception of karaoke), you can look forward to seeing some sessions.
Cheers,
Mike
