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.

No realtor required. Just as we’ve seen with Airbnb and AutoTrader\, consumers are smart\, ready and confident to make these transactions themselves.

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.
