SUMMARY:Bridging the Connectivity Challenge: Hackathon to Improve Rural Alberta
DESCRIPTION:TACKLE A REAL-WORLD PROBLEM TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF RURAL ALBERTANS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nDo you enjoy problem-solving\, analytics\, and creativity? This is your opportunity to use those skills to help hack the digital divide! Get access to open data sets\, virtual machines\, and data science workshops to develop your expertise and create your very own data product. \nAbout the Hackathon:  \nBy 2021\, Canada’s federal government has committed to bringing high-speed internet to 90% of Canadians.

Extract insights from open data sets\, and leverage virtual machines and professional development workshops to develop a solution that will enrich our province. \nThe goals of this hackathon are to: \n\nUse relevant and open data to assess the connectivity barriers and gaps that exist throughout Alberta. This includes identifying communities that are under-served.\nAssess the correlation between social and economic indicators\, and the speed of connectivity\, to determine the role high-speed internet plays in community growth and sustainability.\n\n\n\nParticipants will create and submit data science products that:  \n\nHave a clear goal or hypothesis that aligns with the hackathon’s goals\nIdentify\, use\, and transform relevant open datasets\nOffer compelling metrics and data visualizations that support the participant’s hypothesis\nTell a story\n\nRural Alberta communities will directly benefit from your efforts\, as the output will be used to inform community planning and advocacy efforts for access to high-speed internet. \nSee the hackathon website for more information. View the full rules. \nPrizes \nOver $4\,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to multiple teams and individuals. (Stay tuned for prize details) \n\nBest Overall Award\nSocial Impact Award\nTechnical Implementation ISAIC Award\nSolo Effort Award\n\nJudging Criteria \n\nSocial Impact = 25%\nCreativity & Resourcefulness = 25%\nCommunicating Your Project Story = 25%\nTechnical Proficiency\, Implementation and Feasibility = 25%

SUMMARY:InterGen's Virtual Wine Wednesday with Art Price & Robert Price\, Bōde Canada
DESCRIPTION:InterGen’s Virtual Wine Wednesday with\nArt Price & Robert Price\, Bōde Canada\nWednesday\, April 21\, 4:00 p.m. MST \nSerial Entrepreneurs | Founders | CEOs | Old Economy | \nNew Economy | Oil & Gas | Agriculture | Real Estate | Father/Son What has this Price duo not done? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Art Price & Robert Price! \n\nArt Price is a prairie-rooted serial entrepreneur who has been a key member of leadership teams of internationally successful companies in energy\, technology and agribusiness based in Alberta. Trained as an engineer\, he was the President of Husky Oil in 1981 at the age of 30\, and continued on to be CEO of the company from 1984 – 1993. Art left Husky Oil with the objective of founding an internationally competitive technology business. As the founder of Axia\, Art’s team was responsible for bringing low-cost and high-performing fibre optics to every corner of the province and international markets as well including US\, Europe and Asia. In 2018\, Axia’s Alberta business was sold to Bell and Art shifted his focus to investing in “New Economy” opportunities that involve transformation through the application of technology and are aligned with sustainable market-based economies. He is Chairman of the Board for Bōde Canada\, the Alberta-based peer-to-peer real estate marketplace recently awarded as a Top 15 innovator by Startup Calgary. He also is a Principal and Chairman of Sunterra Group of Companies that are at the forefront of modern approaches to agribusiness in farming\, specialty processing and specialty retail. Art has also served on Board of Directors of companies in the steel industry\, gold mining industry\, genetics and radio sectors. Art has been called a ‘brilliant visionary’ with a direct and frank business style. \nRobert Price is one of the founders and the CEO of Bōde Canada\, an online real estate marketplace that launched in Alberta in 2019. He’s brought together an all-star team that is turning the traditional real estate industry upside down by directly connecting buyers and sellers to work out a deal on their own time\, their own schedule and on their own terms. No realtor required. Just as we’ve seen with Airbnb and AutoTrader\, consumers are smart\, ready and confident to make these transactions themselves. Previously\, Robert was a senior executive at telecom leader Axia\, which brought high performing low-cost fibre infrastructure to customers in Alberta\, the US\, France and Singapore. Robert thrives in leading high-performing teams that deliver amazing customer experiences and meet critical revenue objectives. Robert has grown up in an entrepreneurial family and is a passionate advocate for Alberta and its entrepreneurs.
