E-merge exposition

Hello,

I am contacting you with regard to the E-merge exposition presented by C2.MTL and organized by Art Underground.

The C2.MTL event offers a series of conferences designed to enhance and stimulate creativity and innovation within Quebec companies. Thus, the C2.MTL project seeks to establish Montreal as a reference for innovation at the heart of its various business areas. The congress will be held at the Montreal New City Gas from May 22 to 25, 2012.

Presented by the MDEIE and Underground Art as part of C2–MTL, the E-merge exposition regroup 7 artists and 6 innovative companies working with new technologies. This is an immersive and interactive journey during which visitors are invited to experience 13 totally different experiments and to discover in their wandering the uniqueness of each proposed universe.

The exhibition will open to the general public on Friday, May 25, 2012 from 18h to 22h and welcome visitors Saturday, May 26th between 10h and 17h.

We expect a significant number of visitors during the May 26 and want to ensure that students in your department will be able to get there. Thus, we offer 10 tickets “no lineup”.

Please send an email to Mathieu Allard  (communications©hecaemba•org)   if you would like a ticket.

PMP Course Project in P7

Hi everyone,

I am organizing a course-project for any current MBA students who wish
to prepare to take the PMP (Project Management Professional) exam.
This will be a 1.5 credit course project which will include one
preliminary meeting in mid-May, four face-to-face meetings during
period 7, and an exam. The course-project will be in English (although
students may ask questions or communicate with the professor in
French). Please see the attached description for more information.

Note to students who plan to eventually take the PMP credential exam:
There is a fee of approximately $500 US to write the PMP exam.

Pre-requisites: Students must have taken at least one project
management course (either at HEC or at another post-secondary
institution).

INTERESTED STUDENTS should contact me by email at Ann-Frances Cameron  (ann-frances•cameron©hec•ca)   before April 27th. Their email should indicate what project management courses they have taken or are taking.
