There is so much amazing work being done at JIBC incorporating educational technology so we’re hosting the first ever JIBC DemoFest!

DemoFest is a great opportunity to showcase your work, gain recognition, and get feedback from fellow faculty and staff. You might even win a JIBC DemoFest Award, based on the voting of your colleagues at the event.

Where: JIBC New Westminster Campus, Main Floor – Event Kick-off will take place at 11am in the Theatre – come to collect your DemoFest Guide and voting tickets and see highlights of each project.
