Event Logistics

Trainees will rank their preferred industries during registration. Guests will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. During the structured networking session, the guests will remain at their pre-assigned tables and attendees will rotate for the 4 sessions. Members of the LSCDS Networking Team will be available for assistance throughout. Attendees are encouraged to research their guests and companies in advance to facilitate fruitful conversation. All information is communicated with attendees and guests before the event.

During the open networking session, attendees and professional guests can freely network.

Spots are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We prioritize registrants currently enrolled in a graduate degree (MSc, PhD, other professional degrees) or postdoctoral fellows at the University of Toronto.
