Renew your focus, 'future-proof' your career from May 27-28
A brand-new innovation conference with an impressive lineup of speakers is coming to town this May, courtesy of the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre.
This belief in the promise of the Algoma area is what inspired the Innovation Centre’s Executive Director, Peter Bruijns, to first imagine the centre’s new “Stir the Potential” conference. The event focuses on encouraging organizations and individuals from all industries to use innovation and creativity to future-proof their careers and their businesses. Amidst the many challenges we face on a global scale, the conference seeks to support and inspire.
With the issue of climate change in mind, the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre booked Bob McDonald, science journalist and host of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks, as a speaker. McDonald will speak about how our existing technologies can be used to fight climate change. His speech will tie in with one of the workshop sessions hosted by Emily Cormier, Sustainability Coordinator for the City of Sault Ste. Marie, where participants will think about climate change from a business perspective.
Other speakers at the conference include Nikolas Badminton, a “global futurist” who has worked with organizations like Google, NASA and United Nations; Gilad Cohen, a Toronto-based artist and founder of the JAYU charity; and Ted Nolan, a former NHL hockey player and coach from Garden River First Nation.
