The Impact of Tech on Downtown Edmonton
2019-08-28 16:30 - 18:30 (America/Edmonton) | YellowHead Brewery, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Downtown Edmonton is the epicentre of our bustling tech ecosystem. High-profile companies like Google’s DeepMind and Improbable are anchored in Downtown. Wildly successful startups like Jobber and Granify are growing here; established companies like Bioware are moving into innovative Downtown spaces. In the heart of Downtown, world-renowned artificial intelligence researchers are forging ahead in uncharted frontiers that offer unprecedented opportunities for economic growth. It is the new arms race and Edmonton has taken a prominent place on the world stage, but will it continue?
Cities that boldly move forward by supporting their startup ecosystem, collaborating and strategically investing in this sector, will be at the forefront of the next technological revolution. Join us for the release of our 2019 Business Report “The Impact of Tech on Downtown Edmonton”.
The report looks at our growing tech industry in Downtown, its impacts on the Downtown business community, explores areas of opportunity for us to capitalize on and what is possible if we move forward together.
Following the presentation of the report, there will be a panel discussion with industry experts moderated by Jeremy Hayward, President of solūt, to explore this topic even further.
Doors 4:30pm
Presentation 5:30-6:00
Panel 6:00-6:30pm

Blockchain AML Compliance in Canada - Postponed to September 2019
2019-07-25 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Edmonton) | MNP Tower, 10235 101St N.W. Suite 1500, Edmonton, Alberta, T5J 0H8, Canada
This Event has been postponed to September 2019 Watch for new dates soon!
The Alberta Blockchain Consortium is a non profit corporation aimed at promoting and uniting the blockchain industry within our province. Our events are open to the public and all are welcome. We wish to educate and create an inclusive environment for networking, business development, and cross sector collaboration.
Our Edmonton meet ups are every last Thursday of the month. We provide food, wine, non alcoholic beverages and conversation about blockchain. We prefer to engage our speakers in an interview, panel, or debate instead of having presentations.
This month’s topic:
The rules for crypto companies in Canada are changing. Last year, changes to Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations were published. Once made final, these regulations will apply to “dealers in virtual currency” (including exchanges, brokerages, and BTM operators). Learn about what this will mean for Canadian businesses with the AML geeks from Outlier Compliance Group.
