Thriving in the new future. \nJanuary 12\, 2021 12:15 – 12:45 PM EST\nThe future of work in 2021: Work transformed \nBefore the pandemic\, the future of work was considered an academic question. Fast forward to today\, and it’s the pre-eminent issue across the c-suite. But what’s next after remote work? It’s time for organizations to re-think current approaches to embrace work transformed. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 11:30 AM-12:00 PM EST\n5G’s first year: From insight to innovation \nCarriers have begun lighting up 5G and new spectrum has been made available.

From rising research and development (R&D) investments to new software requirements and enhanced customer experiences\, scenario planning and strategic alliances are increasingly important. In this session\, we’ll analyze how industry stakeholders are overcoming challenges facing a rapidly evolving sector. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 5:00 – 5:30 PM EST\nAI and quantum cyber disruption \nHorizon scanning is a critical part of a cyber professional’s job. Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies are poised to be the next technology disruptions\, with profound impacts to cybersecurity.

SUMMARY:Uniting the Prairies- Upish Event
DESCRIPTION:Uniting the Prairies\, but virtual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nWhat is UP?\nUP (www.unitingtheprairies.com) is a moment where the top VCs & angels + Prairie ex-pats & tech leaders come together (virtually) to share knowledge & experience with startups\, elevating our Prairie tech community. \nUP 2020 was intended to build on what we accomplished in 2019. However\, recent events have made coming together a bit difficult. Faced with the choice of cancelling or going online\, we knew we had to Unite The Prairies somehow. \nSo\, we are pseudo-proud to introduce an entirely virtual one-day conference. Welcome to UP-ish. \nGet a ticket and reserve your spot now – a webinar link will be sent out at a later date.\nFormat\nParticipate in 3 virtual panels featuring Prairie ex-pats and tech community leaders. \nAgenda\n1:00 PM – More Pi\, Less Pie Charts – The Universal Role Of Data \nParticipants: \n– Max Schmeiser\, Head of Data Science @ Twitter \n– Laura Buhler\, Executive Director @ C100 \n2:00 PM – You’re Still on Mute: The Chronicles Of Remote Work \nParticipants: \n– Stephanie Boon\, Head of People & Operations @ 54e Dev Studios \n– Jean Parchewsky\, VP – People Operations @ Vendasta \n– Chantal Grindle\, Chief Human Resources Officer @ Bold Commerce \n– Leah Fochuk\, Head of People @ Symend \n– Douglas Soltys\, Editor in Chief @ BetaKit \n3:00 PM – From Bruno To IPO – Keynote \nParticipants: \n– Kyle Carberry\, CEO @ Coder \n– Jordan Boesch\, CEO @ 7shifts

SUMMARY:CleanTech Pitch Night
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Platform Calgary and Foresight \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin for a night of pitches and networking with the cleantech companies in the Foresight x Platform Calgary program! \nAbout this Event\nForesight and Platform Calgary are pleased to invite you to the third edition of Cleantech Pitch Night! \nCleantech Pitch Night connects early-stage companies with the local cleantech ecosystem\, including investors\, community partners\, industry and fellow cleantech startup companies. \nJoin this exciting event and hear from the latest and greatest cleantech ventures that are set to compete and win in emerging technologies. \nAgenda \n\n\n4:30 PM – Welcome and Introductions \n\n\n4:35 PM – Pitches and Breakout Rooms #1 \n\n\n4:55 PM – Investment Panel Discussion \n\n\n5:15 PM – Pitches and Breakout Rooms #2 \n\n\n5:35 PM – Pitches and Breakout Rooms #3 \n\n\n5:55 PM – Closing Remarks \n\n\nLocation \n\n\nZoom (link will be provided after registration) \n\n\nGet to know the startups \n\n\nBee Energy is a startup based on large scale graphene production. Bee Energy provides graphene consumers with low cost and high-quality graphene-based materials for their applications. Bee Energy’s primary competitive advantage is lower graphene production duration (~1 day)\, patent pending technology\, and graphene tunability for specific use such as high-temperature stability (800 ⁰C). \n\n\nThe Harvest Hub manufactures indoor soil-based growing equipment and smart farm technology for operational excellence. \n\n\nOnsite RSL is a revolutionary approach to onsite remediation of salt impacted contaminated material eliminating hauling to land fill and associated GHG associated with the trucking. The initial focus is oil and gas contaminated sites. \n\n\nOkos works with developers\, real estate managers\, and utility companies to bring the latest smart home technology to Canadians. Automate heating\, cooling\, lighting\, and more with affordable IoT solutions. \n\n\nSEPPURE creates a new generation of nano-filters to revolutionize industrial chemical separation in multiple markets by reducing energy consumption and pollution substantially. Separation processes account for up to 90% of capital and operating costs in the industry. The heat used in industry to separate chemical mixtures accounts for up to 15% of the planet’s entire energy consumption. SEPPURE replaces energy-intensive chemical separations such as distillation and evaporation across multiple industries. \n\n\nVDQ-NRG is re-purposing landfill waste into alternative energy sources and valuable byproducts\, with a focus on being economically viable and environmentally sustainable. \n\n\nZILA Works: You know how we as a society have come to rely on plastics for almost everything\, yet most plastics today are harmful to our health and bad for the environment? ZILA Works has solved this by creating a bioplastic made from industrial hemp. Imagine if we could use a plastic replacement that is safer for consumers\, helps farmers\, and is good for the environment. \n\n\nZoramat Solutions is developing a specialty chemical\, Zoralite\, that behaves like a molecular sponge to soak up target gases\, while letting other gases through. Then\, like wringing out the sponge\, heat or vacuum is applied to the material to remove a near pure stream of the target gas. Zoralite is being deployed in the carbon capture\, biogas or renewable natural gas\, and ammonia markets to perform target gas separations and purifications more efficiently with lower energy requirements and smaller facilities. \n\n\nAbout Foresight \nForesight is a not-for-profit corporation that fosters the growth of SMEs that are developing technology that improves environmental results and reduce GHG emissions. \n\n\n\n\nregsiter
