Welcome to the website for the 2012 edition of the INTRIQ student conference!

We’re very excited to announce that the INTRIQ student conference (CONFETI) will be held January 11-13, 2012 at a new venue: Estrimont Suites & Spa in Orford! As usual, there will be interesting talks, great company and opportunities to get out on the slopes or trails.

The hotel, food and transportation are paid for by INTRIQ, but you’ll have to pay for your own ski tickets and any alcoholic beverages.

Registration is now open. You must give a talk in order to attend, unless you have a very good reason not to (mostly just if you only started your Master’s in the last 4 months). Either way, sign up here on the website before *** December 1 ***.

Here are some great reasons to attend:

- Get to know other students working in quantum information and related fields in Quebec

- Practise your talk before taking it to a big conference

- Boost your CV

- Ask all your questions that you’re afraid to ask when professors are around!

- There’s a great ski hill, cross country and snowshoeing trails, and (due to the new venue) all kinds of hot tubs, saunas, outdoor pool etc. Check out the links on the sidebar!

Please contact Ben (schmidtb at physics dot mcgill dot ca)  if you have any questions, and we look forward to seeing you in January!
