SUMMARY:Pitchfest Edmonton
DESCRIPTION:  \nLike a community-based Shark Tank or Dragon’s Den\, Pitchfest Edmonton is where startup company founders can pitch their businesses and specific needs to an audience of public and private investors\, service providers\, business leaders\, and community members who ask questions and then offer ideas and proposals to the startup founders. \nEach startup founder will have 5 minutes to pitch their business and specific resource needs\, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A from an audience panel. Then the audience members will have 5 minutes to fill out a form to email the startup founder with ideas and offers for various ways they might be able to fulfill those specific needs\, whether they be financing\, marketing\, legal\, strategy\, business development\, personnel\, product development\, or sales. After all of the pitches are finished\, the audience will be able to vote online to choose their favorite.

SUMMARY:Edmonton Data Science Meetup
DESCRIPTION:dmonton Data Science meetup is a place to learn about data science and network with fellow Data Scientists. The presentations for the upcoming meetup include:• “Exploring Text Analytics to Gain Additional Insight into Your Data” – Nick Shelton (JMP Systems Engineer at SAS)• “Autonomous atomic-scale manufacturing through machine learning” – Moe Rashidi (Postdoctoral RA at University of Alberta)Pizza will be provided before presentations and after presentations we will head to a pub for networking!The meetup is sponsored by NAIT (http://www.nait.ca/program_home_103349.htm) and AltaML (http://altaml.com/).———-Edmonton Data Science (EDS) meetups are a platform for data science enthusiasts and professionals to:• learn about big data techniques and tools• discuss best practices in big data and data science• promote big data and data science among university students and the local tech community• learn about practical applications of data science methods• learn about companies that use data science as the foundation of their business processesWe are passionate about data science and big data. We hope to create a vibrant data science community that is engaged in sharing and learning different topics in the field.In these meetups\, we intend to a) share best practices and knowledge of data science-based startups and corporations with university students\, b) introduce research works on big data and data science to the local tech community. We aim to connect the students to companies and make them more aware of our vibrant local tech community. We also invite professors and researchers to present their work on data mining and machine learning methods to the professional community. Each meetup will include a presentation introducing a company who is using data science techniques\, and two presentations about big data\, data science and machine learning techniques.

SUMMARY:RainForest Summit
DESCRIPTION:There’s more to building a city of innovation than just the basics. You can have talent\, capital\, and business-Efriendly policies and still fall flat as a place for innovation\, while other cities take their place as the next Silicon Valley. Why? Because you need an innovation ecosystem connecting and building on those basic ingredients. \nThe Rainforest Alberta initiative works together to improve Alberta’s innovation ecosystem\, based on the principles of The Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley. We use a scorecard from that resource to measure the quality of Edmonton’s ecosystem twice a year\, with the goal of increasing our score to 800 out of 1000 by 2020. \nanRin \nWho Should Attend?\nThe Rainforest Alberta – yeg Summit brings together a group of Edmonton innovators\, doers\, strategists\, and thought leaders together to evaluate Edmonton’s ecosystem and discuss how we can do better to create a true hub of innovation in Edmonton. \nIf you are passionate about building a stronger\, more resilient\, more innovative economy for Edmonton\, you need to attend this session. Not sure if this is a good fit for you? Read more about Rainforest Alberta – yeg! \nAssessing Innovation in Edmonton\nDuring the summit\, attendees will analyze the state of innovation in Edmonton using the results of the Rainforest Scorecard. If you want to make sure that your voice is heard\, Click here to complete the Scorecard Assessment (you don’t have to be attending to help us gauge the state of innovation in Edmonton!). \n \n\n\nThank you to our Sponsors!\nThe Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research is our Ecosystem level sponsor. Thank you so much for supporting the growth of innovation in Alberta by helping make the Summit a reality! \n \nWork Nicer is Alberta’s largest coworking community created on the foundation that no one succeeds alone. Community is more than a common space but a group of people who rally together to work through the struggles and celebrate the wins. What comes out of community is deeper connections\, cooler collaborations and higher innovation. \n \n\nAgenda\n\n8:30 Check-In\n8:50 Welcome\n9:00 Session #1 – Background and Context\n10:45 Session #2 – Rainforest Pillars\n12:30 Lunch\n13:00 Session #3 – The New Narrative\n15:00 Session #4 – Continuity\n16:30 Conclude
