Dear UCC<br>
<br>
(Greetings from dja's new home! He tells us much about the wonders
of the UCC...)<br>
<br>
We’d like to let you know about CompCon 2013, a conference for
computing students being held by the ANU Computer Science Students’
Association from 28-30 September.<br>
<br>
CompCon 2013 is sponsored by the ANU College of Engineering and
Computer Science, the Defence Signals Directorate, National ICT
Australia, Google and the ANU Students’ Association.<br>
<br>
CompCon will cover a broad spectrum of computing/IT topics that
aren’t necessarily covered in the regular curriculum. The topics
will range from high-level discussions about the IT industry to
deeply technical content about software development and current
research in Computer Science.<br>
<br>
We would very much appreciate it if you could let your members know
about this event. We’ve attached some information below that you can
forward out.<br>
<br>
We realise that the cost of travelling to an event like this is
quite high for many students, and as such we’ve established a Travel
Scholarship Program. We are also encouraging students to apply for
financial support through their university’s student associations,
as many universities and student unions have grant programs that can
assist students in attending events such as this. We’d appreciate it
if you could investigate this - if you are interested, please
contact us and we can help work out a travel assistance program
specifically for your members!<br>
<br>
Part of our goal in organising CompCon is to help link clubs and
societies from around Australia, so we can exchange ideas and
collaborate on competitions and events - we’re looking forward to
meeting plenty of C&S execs from around the country, and would
love to see a representative from your committee!<br>
<br>
We are also looking for speakers, and we would be interested in
talks from students from your university - especially
honours/research students, but if you’ve got any undergraduates who
are good at public speaking and have a project they’re passionate
about, please encourage them to apply! Some funding is available for
speaker travel. More details are available at <a

<br>
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us for
more information.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
