Canada’s annual software engineering conference

Join thousands of students from across Canada for a weekend full of interactive knowledge sharing, mentoring, career opportunities and more as we explore the endless possibilities of the future of tech.

Why join?

CUSEC is an annual software engineering conference organized for students by students. It was founded in 2002 by a small team of tech enthusiasts on a mission to educate and expose students to a diverse range of areas in software engineering and computer science. The conference enables attendees to discover knowledgeable speakers, connect with sponsoring companies, and make lifelong friends, all in a safe and comfortable space.

Hear from our past attendees

  • I very much enjoyed my visits to Montreal and CUSEC. It was a pleasant change to attend a conference where I was not being sold a product but rather actually got to hear about real world issues in Software Engineering and to meet Canadians. I look forward to the time when I can get back there. I would really enjoy being a presenter again.

  • Great speakers with a lot of options, games night was super fun. Awesome amount of companies for the career fair. The career fair could use companies from more areas i.e. companies in Western Canada or Eastern Canada.

  • Great conference. Been attending every year since 2009 and, even though I'm not a student anymore, the conference has great keynote speakers that I haven't seen anywhere else in Canada!

  • Attending CUSEC was one of the highlights of my university experience. It was a great way to gain exposure to and connect with the Canadian tech community. The passion of the speakers, sponsors and delegates always rekindled the excitement I felt when I first started programming.
