Introduction
Welcome and event introduction
THE COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE REVOLUTION - Leading in the Age of Human-Agentic AI Symbiosis by Himanshu Joshi
In a world where AI systems and agents are rapidly transforming our organizational landscapes, a new leadership paradigm is emerging that harnesses the collective intelligence of humans and AI working in concert. Drawing on decades of research in digital transformation, organizational psychology, and AI integration, this talk unveils a practical framework for leaders to orchestrate this powerful new symphony of minds. Through compelling case studies of pioneering organizations and insights from innovation economics, you'll discover how to cultivate organizational structures that amplify human creativity while leveraging AI capabilities. The future belongs not to leaders and organizations that deploy AI, but to those that master the art of blending human and artificial intelligence into something greater than the sum of its parts.

On The Different Engineering Requirements of Different AI Agents by Bradley Arsenault
In this talk, I will discuss my work developing AI agents across different communication channels and how each of these communication channels have unique engineering challenges and requirements that require very different designs for AI Agent systems. I will provide some practical examples of how we assemble together prompts that allow an agent to communicate intelligently in a variety of situations.

AI as a Catalyst: Expanding Canada on the International Stage by Catherine Gao
AI can break down traditional barriers. In this talk, we explore how AI can reduce the entry friction for global $B manufacturers of regulated goods, such as medical devices, into the Canadian market. This effort not only ignites international business opportunities but also provides Canadians with more affordable access to options in key everyday areas like healthcare.
