HDI is the world’s largest association of help desk professionals and is a highly regarded association. The Ottawa Help Desk Institute (HDI) is a not for profit organization promoting member collaboration, networking opportunities, educational programs and new technology for the Help Desk and IT Support industry. Many of our members belong to the government and private industry: businesses including private corporations, federal, provincial and municipal government, staffing organizations, consulting firms, vendors and educational institutions. Accenture, Anjura, City of Ottawa, Cognos, Hewlett Packard, University of Ottawa, inRound Innovations and Wilcom Systems are just a few of the members enjoying the benefits of the Ottawa Help Desk Institute.

Proceeds are going to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Canada is an affiliate of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International started in 1970, by a group of concerned parents of children with juvenile (type 1) diabetes. They saw a need for an organization dedicated to finding a cure for this potentially deadly disease, and felt the way to find a cure for diabetes was through significant funding of diabetes research.

Thank you for your participation!
