About the Digital Futures Symposium

“Digital Futures” refers to the exploration and speculation about the potential directions, impacts, and transformations that emerging digital technologies may bring about in various aspects of society, economy, culture, and individual life. Increasingly digital initiatives are falling short on strategic objectives and Canada continues to fall behind other countries on advancing their digital agenda. The Digital Futures Symposium will convene some of Canada’s foremost voices in digital transformation and establish a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration. By attending, you will not only influence Canada’s Digital Future, but you will also learn how your organization or academic institution can contribute to thought leadership, advancing practices, and making improvements to digitalization efforts across different sectors.

Speakers

Join influential speakers such as Wayne Purboo (VP, Amazon Advertising; EMBA alumnus), Alfredo Tan (Chief Digital & Information Officer, Canada Goose), and Dr. Constantinos Coursaris (Co-Director, Tech3Lab), as they share insights on digital transformation and innovation.
