OUR NEXT EVENT

Homelessness is more than a housing issue.

This February, join us for a timely and thoughtful conversation with Abe Oudshoorn, Associate Professor at Western University and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Homelessness.  A community health nurse by background, Dr. Oudshoorn’s program of research focuses on preventing and ending homelessness, from local processes of providing permanent supportive housing, up to national policies and international development. He is an internationally recognized expert in this field, having obtained more that $20 million in research funding and recently completed a tour as a Visiting Professor in Santiago, Chile.

This discussion will investigate the root causes of homelessness, strategies and approaches that have been successful in Canada and elsewhere, and what initiatives are happening locally.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Every company and product seems to be playing an AI angle, and no one wants to miss out. Join us and special guest moderator Christina Fox for a panel discussion that will offer practical advice on using AI at work and in life, cover issues around security and authenticity, and how to lean into what AI does well... Without the hype.

About the moderator:  A vibrant community connector and positive disruptor, Christina Fox is the Chief Executive Officer at TechAlliance of Southwestern Ontario, representing Ontario’s most promising startups and fastest-growing technology companies.
