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

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. In this session\, learn from industry leaders\, including Lynne Sterrett\, National Consulting leader for the Life Sciences\, delivering much needed solutions for the consumer that just wants to do-it-themselves. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 3:15-3:55 PM EST\nAutomotive transformation: EVs and connectivity \nElectrification and connectivity continue to disrupt the automotive value chain. 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. We will provide a pragmatic view of these potential impacts and steps you can take today to prepare for tomorrow.
