Mission

ACTION TI seeks to connect people in the information technology (IT) sectors of Québec, organizing events and helping promote excellence and improve knowledge and skills.[1]

Accomplishments

ACTION TI holds two annual conferences, the JIQ conference on trends in business and information technology, and the Datavore conference on data analysis and visualization.

The group awards the Prix Méritic, given to significant figures in the IT industry who can be viewed as role models. Two prizes are given, one for upper management in IT and an individual career award. In 2017, a third prize was added for the entrepreneur of a small/medium-sized business located in Quebec City.[2]

The OCTAS contest has been held each year since 1987, aiming to recognise excellence in information technology in Québec by rewarding individuals, businesses, or organizations for their contributions to the industry. One winner of the categories is also chosen to win a special Excellence award. Trophies are awarded at ACTION TI's annual gala; winners are chosen by jury.[3]
