As technology increasingly transforms business strategy, it is crucial for senior leaders to stay ahead of the curve.
The University of Waterloo’s Tech Horizons Executive Forum, brought to you by WatSPEED and hosted by CIBC, returns this year to equip executives with the insights and tools needed to thrive in a world increasingly driven by technology. This year’s event will take place on November 26 at CIBC Square in Toronto.
Tailored for senior leaders seeking a comprehensive view of the current and future trends impacting Canada’s technology and business landscape, the Forum offers a rich blend of keynote speeches, panel discussions and interactive sessions. Designed to provide leaders with actionable insights into the latest emerging technologies and their real-world applications, attendees will gain the knowledge needed to drive innovation and lead through ongoing disruption.
“As the pace of technological change accelerates, it’s critical for senior leaders to not only understand the innovations shaping our future but also to leverage these advancements to drive sustainable growth and navigate uncertainty,” says Sanjeev Gill, associate vice-president, Innovation and executive director of WatSPEED. “The Tech Horizons Executive Forum provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from top industry and academic minds, equipping leaders with the knowledge and strategies they need to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape.”
Building on the success of last year’s sold-out event, this year’s lineup is set to feature a roster of world-class industry experts. Attendees will join more than 250 peers to hear directly from Victor Dodig, president and CEO, CIBC, Mellody Hobson, president and co-CEO, Ariel Investments, Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield Asset Management and many more.
Leading researchers from the University of Waterloo will also join the Forum to share groundbreaking research and insights on the most pressing issues executives face today.
