The National Technology Youth Leadership Conference was originally founded by Muneer Nawab, a Commerce and Computer Science student who was supported by the Dean of Arts and Science at Queen's University. Over the past five years, the conference has been organized by undergraduate students of Queen’s University, and each year has been an outstanding success. The committee this year has representatives from the faculties of Arts and Science, Computing and Commerce. Today our conference brings delegates from across Canada and beyond, making NTYLC a meeting place for outstanding students and prominent leaders in the field of technology.

This May, high school students from across Canada will gather at Queen's University for NTYLC 2010, a unique four-day leadership experience. This conference offers students the opportunity to learn and exchange ideas with some of Canada’s top engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs and business leaders. This year our theme is Biomedicine. Students will participate in seminars, keynote sessions and interactive workshops that are organized to allow them to gain a better understanding of this field of study as well as its applications in the real world. In the evening students will be entertained with group activities and socials, where they can have fun while getting to know their peers. Attendees will bring home the leadership, entrepreneurial skills and knowledge that will enable them to translate their ideas into action.

Every year NTYLC invites leaders from the fields of technology, business, industry and academia to share their knowledge and experiences. These leaders inspire delegates to expand and develop their studies while motivating them to set new goals and take risks. In each seminar delegates will interact with engaging speakers who will provide insights about the cutting edge developments in their fields.

In these workshops delegates will work alongside engineers and leaders in academia. A hands-on environment will allow delegates to learn about the technologies and devices used, while a group approach will develop team building, and introduce participants to each other's ideas.

In the evenings delegates will have the opportunity to interact with one another at a series of planned social events. With a variety of activities and performances, delegates are sure to find something that interests them. These socials are designed to allow delegates to meet and make lasting friendships.
