Waterloo kicks off True North Conference
Three-day gathering discusses future of technology and society’s place in it.
Technology is inevitable, but what does it mean to be human in a tech-driven world?
That’s the question True North will answer, a three-day conversation (May 29 – 31) focused on the intersection of humans and technology.
As title sponsor, the University of Waterloo kicked off its first day by greeting more than 150 guest groups to a panel discussion on Waterloo’s significance to the success of the innovation ecosystem (both locally and globally), a networking breakout session for bright minds to come together, and an interactive experience featuring cutting-edge content on quantum technology and thinking.
“This important foundation and partnership sparked six decades of innovation backed by exceptional academics, research and the world’s largest experiential learning program,” said Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor. “This environment has produced global enterprises and global talent that has reshaped industries and is already impacting the future of the new economy.”
True North is a meeting of the minds celebrated in partnership with Communitech.
