Canada is at a crossroads facing simultaneous crises in climate resilience, economic productivity, housing affordability and institutional effectiveness. Join Rik Logtenberg, Dirdctor of CanAdapt for an inspiring talk and interactive workshop demonstrating how complexity science, AI, and community-led systems thinking can accelerate CAnada's transition.

As we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic unraveling, artificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom of modernity’s habits: control, mastery, and separation. This talk invites a different question: what is AI revealing about us, and what is collapsing through that revelation?

Drawing on decades of work in educational, decolonial, and post-representational relational inquiry, Vanessa Andreotti explores how Large Language Models (LLMs), when engaged from within an ontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference), rather than the logic of optimization, can become something else: a co-witness to social, ecological, and psychological destabilization, and a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned relationalities.

The CareNext Collective is hosting a virtual event that shines a spotlight on the PREVENT Clinic – a pioneering initiative that challenges traditional care pathways and demonstrates what happens when practitioners coordinate across silos and intervene earlier to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Learn from the visionary team at Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) who brought the clinic to life, including practitioners, partners and the patients whose lives have been positively impacted by this preventative approach to care.

The CareNext Collective is virtual forum facilitated by the CareNext Coalition, a unique partnership between the University of Waterloo and the Waterloo Regional Health Network. The coalition is committed to bringing together clinicians, researchers and entrepreneurs to create more innovative and integrated heath care systems.
