  • Tech developers are trying to solve problems that range from smartwatches that detect heart attacks, to better patient scheduling and data-entry software. We are also seeing an increase in decentralized health care which can create major challenges (and opportunities) for health care provisions. Consumer-led demand for patient self-care is driving a new generation of innovative technologies. Learn from the players leading the way and what product/service offerings will have an impact in this space. The Deep-Dive Tracks give us an opportunity to learn from experts in emerging sectors. The individual tracks have a duration of three hours and begin with two industry presentations and finish off with a panel series featuring local and international thought-leaders. Participating in the Deep Dive Tracks assists with formulating big ideas and building relationships with like-minded individuals.

  • DESCRIPTION WHAT IS THE BUSINESS OF CANNABIS DEEP-DIVE TRACK? Since President Richard Nixon classified marijuana as a schedule 1 illegal drug in the 70’s it has brought along a negative stigma that has been cultivated primarily for political gain and the segregation of communities. Cannabis shows a lucrative and deep history which influences our arts, culture, literature, and very soon, the next boom for (legal) commerce in Canada. The medicinal properties of cannabis have been well known and have proved to be an alternative to some of the most common ailments seen today. However, in order for cannabis to be looked at through a positive lens, nationwide, we must be willing to address the stigmas that has plagued the usage of the drug for so long. Healthy dialogue will be the first step in overcoming more than half-a-century of conviction, persecution, and the ostracism around usage of the plant. 9:00 AM - 10 AM - The Cannabusiness Future in Canada From crop to finished product, cannabis is opening up a world of challenges and possibilities in the market. As a flood of new products hit store shelves while regulators race to catch up, everyone from entrepreneurs to big box companies are left to forge their own path. This panel of explorers represents top cannabis makers, scientists, end users and others across the supply chain working to perfect the quality and consistency behind the scenes. They will share insights and lessons learned as they navigate the rapidly changing landscape in hopes of bringing world-class cannabis to market.

  • Children starting school today will enter the labor market and start voting in the 2030s. It is very difficult to know what types of jobs, and indeed what type of world, they are being prepared for. Needless to say, it’s an ongoing debate with conflicting information from various experts. It leaves plenty of room for interpretation around what impact automation technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will have on jobs, skills, and wages. What does this mean for our educational institutions or for parents of newborns keen on setting their children up for success? It’s evident that in order for people to keep up, adapt, and work alongside effectively with highly capable machines, they will require a very different set of skills. How do we go about grooming the leaders of the next generation and what will it take to deploy a workforce of highly-capable and purpose-driven members of society? The C-Tribe Future of Work Deep-Dive Track, co-created by RBC Future Launch, is a curated day of insight and inspiration, as we explore what is needed by our leaders where diversity, mobility, transparency, and experience are not only embraced, but encouraged.

  • From SIRI, to Alexa, to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence is expanding rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons. Why do we have to do research to ensure the safety of artificial intelligence? Examine, together, the intersection between technology and humans and what it means for our society’s future.

  • Diversity comes in many forms: gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, age, culture, socioeconomic background, etc. All of these contribute to an individual’s unique experience of the world.Sometimes we need to take a step back and examine the presence of diversity in our own life. How diverse is your school? Neighborhood? Place of work? Group of friends? Is diversity something we should strive for in all aspects of our lives? Together, our differences make a strong, beautiful, world community. Even in the face of intolerance, discrimination, and violence, we must not forget to spread the word about the importance of diversity and to respond to that violence with a love and a celebration of our differences. This track will explore how we can deepen our understanding for diversity and inclusion even more.

  • WHAT IS THE RAISING CAPITAL DEEP-DIVE TRACK? Investment into venture-backed companies is already on pace to experience another record-breaking year in 2018. Venture capitalists are committed to funding the most innovative entrepreneurs, working closely with them to transform breakthrough ideas into emerging growth companies that drive job creation and economic growth. These Venture Capitalists provide capital to start-up ventures that do not have access to equities markets and they accept the risk of the start-up firm but command a high return of their success. However, venture capital is an expensive form of financing for any company and early-stage innovators need to be aware of other options that are available to them. This track will consist of representatives that can speak to other forms of raising capital that are available to innovators & entrepreneurs.

From our attendees

““In one weekend, I was able to build relationships with senior decision makers at multiple construction companies, municipalities and groups that were previously never on my radar (e.g. travel, and artificial intelligence). From the perspective of a data analytics startup, making connections and receiving direct feedback from large corporations is very challenging – but much easier with C-TRIBE. From those relationships, our team has been able to learn much faster about our clients’ needs and pivot product offerings rapidly..
