SUMMARY:Her Story Competition
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 18\, 2021\, for the inaugural HerStory 2021 Competition featuring 30 inspiring women-identifying entrepreneurs who will be sharing their stories in front of a panel of Champions looking to invest. \nIncluding special guest speakers from across Canada’s entrepreneurial and investment ecosystem\, HerStory is a national virtual event that will spark a movement focused on diversifying the investing and founder landscape. \nWhat to expect: \nHerStory participants will take turns sharing their stories with the audience and our panel of Champions. Each participant will have a couple of minutes to answer questions from the Champions that will dig deeper into participants’ journeys\, and then later\, as the Champions deliberate\, we’ll have a fireside chat with a special surprise guest! \nAttendees are highly encouraged to stay for the entire duration of the event to give each woman the audience she deserves for her narrative. \nOn November 18\, 2021\, we hope you’ll join us in cheering on and championing these founders as they share their stories of entrepreneurship and their journey to founding their company. \nWhy HerStory? \nStudies have shown what women entrepreneurs and investors have known for decades: traditional pitch competitions consistently fail women. HerStory is quite literally flipping the script. By leading with narrative and encouraging a relatable\, honest and intuitively woman-centred approach to information\, connection and business building\, we’re challenging the traditional pitch model and spurring innovation. HerStory amplifies a diversity of voices and connects modern entrepreneurs with appropriate investors\, increasing the likelihood of women accessing pathways to success. \nFor more information visit: https://the51.com/herstory

SUMMARY:Deloitte at CES®­­­ 2021
DESCRIPTION:Deloitte at CES®­­­ 2021\nJanuary 11-14\, 2021 | All-Digital\n\n\n\n\n\nStronger. Safer. Smarter. Together. 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. In this session\, we’ll explore 5G’s first year and reflect on lessons learned for enterprises. Presenters will also explore what’s next and discuss topics such as use cases\, value creation\, and key insights to fuel 5G innovation for organizations. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 1:40 – 2:20 PM EST\nThe road to DIY consumer health \nIf we have learned anything in 2020\, it’s that consumers play a pivotal role in their own health outcomes. 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. From rising research and development (R&D) investments to new software requirements and enhanced customer experiences\, scenario planning and strategic alliances are increasingly important. 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.
