SUMMARY:Inventures Unbound: Get to Know Day: Early Startup Stage
DESCRIPTION:Get to Know Day is a meetup event for those on the front lines of innovation to gather and learn about each other’s programs and services.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nAbout Get to Know Day 2021 \nGet to Know Day is a meetup event for those of us on the front lines of innovation to gather and learn about each other’s programs and services that support innovation. This is an informal way for new and experienced staff to get to know any changes to programs\, what is available\, and what we can all do better to support the innovation ecosystem in Alberta. \nTypically this event is a one full-day session\, however because the event will be delivered virtually we are looking to split the event into four sessions. Sessions will be two and a half hours long\, and run every Wednesday over the course of four weeks starting the second week in January 2021. Session days will be divided into programming support for each stage of innovation development (ideation\, validating and scaling)\, and will end in a final session that brings everyone together to discuss ideas on how to grow the innovation ecosystem in Alberta. \n\nSession 1 – Early stage – Wed\, Jan 13th: 9 – 11:30 AM\nSession 2 – Growth Stage – Wed\, Jan 20th: 9 – 11:30 AM\nSession 3 – Scaling stage – Wed\, Jan 27th: 9 – 11:30 AM\nSession 4 – Ecosystem development – Tues\, Feb 2nd: 9 – 11:30 AM

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.

Patients are now expecting accessible\, convenient solutions — from wearables to apps — that allow them to jumpstart their care at any moment. Many companies stepped up to deliver new product offerings this year.

However\, transforming the ecosystem to shift toward these technologies will be difficult and expensive.

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.
