There's no denying that Alberta has seen it's share of economic hardship. But the challenges and opportunities of the future won't lie in the past –  they'll emerge in the future. What are some of the issues that matter for our economy from the global, national and local perspectives? We invite you to join CIRI Alberta for an engaging discussion on key issues that will shape you workplace – including implications of Artificial Intelligence, changing demographics of the workforce and the economics of how our communities are structured. We’re certain you’ll leave the session reflecting on what it means for you and your company; and what you need to start doing differently. This event is eligible for 2 CEUs.

This event is $25 for CIRI members; $55 for non-members.
