When I first hear the event, lots of thoughts coming in my mind. Thoughts that makes me feel a little bit excited and a little bit nervous. Well, to know really about what Y4IT is all about I did ask some information on my friends who have done attending the biggest event last year.
Some information that I had collected were funny and some are serious. One of which is that Y4IT event conducts seminar about IT related topics, of course. Some of the speakers in that event introduce their thesis and projects they have made. Some introduce and conducts what animation is all about, and a lot of IT related topics. Other information that I collected from my friends is that some students during the seminars feel bored, some of which were just talking to their seatmates secretly but some were listening, how about that? With that, I can now figure out what will happen on that event. Hoping that I will not get tired in listening to the speakers on that day so that I can get some important advice to ponder or lessons to learn or insights to use it for my future someday, somehow. Other also gave the meaning of Y4IT and it means Youth for Information Technology, and now I know.
Based on the information’s that I had collected from other people, I expect that this time will be different. I expect that they will conduct some IT related topics that will make us amaze. I hope that if they are going to discuss their thesis and projects they have made, hope we can get some learning from that. I also expect during our seminar that there will be snacks to be delivered to ease our stress or boredom in listening to the speakers. I hope that we will encounter a jolly speaker to make us alive so that we can listen properly in their discussion or we can pay attention to that speaker. Sometimes, we can’t avoid that there will be a boring speakers that will conduct seminars and I already expect that. I hope that there will be discussion about animation because I am not satisfied when I attend another seminar also here in Davao which is the Graphicon Conference 2012, although there were a lot of speakers during that time but I found it boring because some speakers only show the history of some other things such as animation. I hope that we will not encounter a speaker like that because that’s the thing that makes us students or audience get bored. In our Y4IT event, I expect that they will also demonstrate some of their different techniques what are the basics in making animations of some things or effective animation which is simple yet amazing to look at. I expect that the speakers will came from other country since this event is one of the biggest event in the Philippines.
Our technology now is getting newer and newer or let’s just say that it changes year to year. So as a student, I also expect that they will also introduce to us some of the famous and level-up technology since then it is one of the biggest IT event in the Philippines. I expect that we can learn more by showing us some important facts about the technology now, how are we going to deal with the newer technology now. I also expect that we will going to meet some IT experts on our seminar. I also have this kind of expectation that what if they will also teach us, students or for those who will going to attend that seminar or event in hacking. Would it be possible to happen? I hope so because I really wanted also to learn about hacking just for fun or just to know others important information especially my crushes.
Talking about the place which the Y4IT could be possibly held, I expect that we will also go to the place were the event was held last year which is in University of the Philippines based on my friends. By knowing that, I am much excited to see what’s inside the campus. I am excited to see the oblation statue and I also want to now what does that mean? Hope that we can tour the whole campus after we attended the seminar.
To know really the meaning of Y4IT, I also search some important facts about that event. After celebrating its tenth year anniversary in 2012, the Philippine Youth Congress on Information Technology (Y4iT) is carrying on to its 11th year with the most-sought speakers in the IT field.
Included in the list of featured speakers for this year’s Y4iT are international practitioners Wendy Gorton of Google, Danny Castonguay of Kalibrr, Johan Janssens of Timble, Markku Kero of Job and Esther Technologies, Christy Book-Tsang of Linux Professional Institute (Asia Pacific), and Bebo White of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (a US national laboratory based in Stanford University). Participants will be able to engage in lively discussions with them regarding the current happenings in the international Information Technology scene.
Prof. Remmel Feria, Project Manager for Y4iT mentioned that this congress ensures that Filipino students get to see a survey of the exciting developments and breakthroughs in the field of Information Technology and put them into context, so that they won’t be left behind in this growing field.
Y4iT will be held on Sept. 17-19 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City. This is the first time the congress will be held outside of Quezon City since its inception in 2003.

With that, I am much excited to attend the seminar so that we can learn more and more learning’s because the speakers are not just an ordinary speaker. So I much sure that all of my expectation will going to happen. I just hope that it will happen on that day.
