The Velocity Symposium

(We have space for up to 150 participants in person, with virtual participation available for everyone else. Confirmed in-person participants will be notified directly. The remote link is available for everyone.)Alberta is moving fast on AI, and we want to bring you inside the journey. Join us for an industry event where the Government of Alberta will share what it has learned deploying AI across government operations. From practical lessons to emerging methodology, this is an open conversation between government and industry about what it actually takes to move at the speed of technology.​What to Expect Technology and Innovation will use this session to share key ideas in the recently published Velocity White Papers. The papers highlight recent progress and identify areas for future effort and investment. We have a difficult engineering problem to solve, and we need your help solving it. You'll hear from Albertan, Canadian, and international partners and have an opportunity to participate in a roundtable discussion and audience Q&A on using AI to address technology debt. Alberta's goal is to become the most AI-enabled public service in North America. Reaching that goal means working with partners across all levels of government, within public bodies, and in the private sector.
