SUMMARY:PTAC TIS – Managing Remote Work More Effectively
DESCRIPTION:PTAC TIS – Managing Remote Work More Effectively- Lessons Learned from Working with Consultants and Operators during this time\nRegister Today \nPTAC Technology Information Session (TIS) – Matidor\nDuring these unprecedented times\, the ability to maintain project efficiency and ongoing team collaboration\, while continuing to regulate costs can single-handedly determine the longevity of many environmental services organizations. \nAs difficult of a task as that may seem\, it is not impossible. With new government grants available (e.g. Site Rehabilitation Program) and revolutionary new software solutions\, remediation and fieldwork can continue and even thrive in the current climate. \nIn this session\, Matidor.com CEO\, Vincent Lam\, will use real-life case studies to demonstrate how environmental operators and consultants can take advantage of new methodologies and technological innovations to improve collaboration and efficiency across project teams. \nIt’s undeniable that remediation and field project management can be extremely challenging at the best of times. With all of its moving parts\, the process of accessing tabular and spatial information requires numerous steps and involves a large number of stakeholders. This can often result in a frustratingly slow and costly process. From working with various operators\, a few days of delayed updates could amount to tens of thousands of unnecessary costs. \nMaking matters worse\, many of the traditional software solutions available on the market are siloed\, fragmented\, and unable to provide accurate and timely project information. Fortunately\, things are changing! \nDate/Time\nDate(s) – 25/02/2021\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm

SUMMARY:About Get to Know Day 2021: Eco System Development
DESCRIPTION:About 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
