SUMMARY:RainForest Summit
DESCRIPTION:We are at a pivotal point in Edmonton’s history. We have the chance to transition from a resource-based economy to one that embraces innovation\, technology\, and a vibrant diversity of businesses. \nBut in order to build the greater interconnectedness and culture needed to really make Edmonton an innovation hub\, we need to come together to honestly assess the state of the current system\, and what needs to change so that we can all build thriving businesses and startups here. Edmonton has the talent\, resources\, and the spaces needed to support entrepreneurs\, but without a strong sense of unity\, community\, collaboration and interconnectedness that make ecosystems like Silicon Valley hotspots for innovation\, communities like ours can still fall flat as a place for innovation. \nWe want to change that and we want you to join others who are passionate about building a stronger\, more resilient\, and more innovative economy for Edmonton that supports you. \nWhy Should You Attend?\nIf you want to be part of a group of people who aren’t sitting on the sidelines while decisions are made on their behalf\, who aren’t interested in shooting down the ideas of others but examining them and adapting them; if you want to actively participate in building a better future for Edmonton\, then this event is for you. \nWe’ll bring innovators\, doers\, strategists\, and thought leaders like you together to honestly evaluate Edmonton’s ecosystem and collaborate on ways we can do better to create a true hub of innovation in Edmonton. You bring an open mind and a desire to participate in building a better future. \nYou can get 20% off your registration by filling out the Scorecard Assessment\, before registering. This will give us a baseline pulse check of the community to bounce off for the event by measuring the collective responses against the 6 Rainforest Pillars. \nLearn more about the Scorecard and its Importance \nWhy is This Event Different?\nWe are not government-funded\, we are not institutional\, we are not bureaucratic. We are entrepreneur-led and focused. \nThis isn’t like other ‘initiatives’; this is doers looking to help other doers. \nThis event isn’t a community engagement session. It’s action-oriented and builds off existing reports from the community. \nWe are doing this because we see the potential in Edmonton to support those who think differently. We understand that now is the time for Alberta to embrace the knowledge-based economy and make progress towards diversification\, and we aren’t willing to sit on the sidelines and wait for this to happen on its own. \nWhat IS Rainforest Alberta?\nRainforest Alberta is an entrepreneur-led grassroots initiative that is working to support Alberta’s transition from a resource-based economy to one which embraces innovation. We aim to be an inclusive place where all the ingredients can assemble to work collectively towards this common goal. We contribute to the community by actively working to remove the transactional barriers that stifle innovation and building a community that trusts and encourages each other. \nEven with talent\, capital\, and business-friendly policies\, a community may still fail as a place for innovation. Intentionally building an innovation ecosystem is vital to connecting and building upon those basic ingredients. \nWe use the principles of The Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley book by Victor Hwang and Greg Horowitt to help us evaluate\, influence and improve the Alberta innovation economy. We’ve localized their scorecard into a measurement tool that helps us assess the quality of Edmonton’s ecosystem. We have set a goal of improving the scores in both Calgary and Edmonton to 800/1000 by 2020. Currently\, we only rank 643 on that scorecard. We need to do better. \nLearn more about Rainforest Alberta – yeg \nWe look forward to meeting you at the event and changing the Albertan innovation system\, together! We’ll give you 20% off your registration to say thank you for filling out the Scorecard Assessment (the discount code is on the last page). \nLearn more about the Scorecard and its Importance

SUMMARY:YEG Job Club
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nYEG Job Club exists to connect job seekers with like-minded folks\, business representatives\, and industry experts in their career search. \nA job club is an informal meetup that allows individuals to learn from others about how best to find their next role. \nWhen you arrive we will facilitate conversations that can help you accelerate your search and potentially introduce you to your next employer or a career coach that will assist you. We will provide opportunities to sharpen your networking skills during a casual event. \nCome for the networking and introductions\, stay for the food and beer! \nFAQs \nAre there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? \nWhile it is an all ages venue\, anyone purchasing alcohol will need to have proper ID for consumption. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nThere is free street parking after 6:00 pm\, a parking lot just north west of the event centre\, it’s within the boundaries for e-scooters\, and completely accessible by transit and bicycle (bike racks out front). \nWhat can I bring into the event? \nDon’t worry about bringing a resume. Just bring a couple of questions that you have about your job search and an idea of one company or role you’d like to learn more about! \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nIf you need to get ahold of us for further questions\, please email Allie at allie@rivercityhr.ca
