Where does innovation come from? How are new technologies created?
Dr. Poppy Crum, an eminent neuroscientist, is coming to INVENTURE$ 2024 to talk about these very things. She will be taking the main stage on Friday May 31, 2024 to deliver a keynote address called the Intersection of Humanity and Technology.
“Understanding where innovation comes from is critical to growing a strong tech sector and building a robust economy,” says Laura Kilcrease, CEO of Alberta Innovates.
“I can’t think of a better way to conclude Inventures 2024, than for Dr. Poppy Crum to share her insights about the collision between humanity and technology. To be inspired and learn something completely new, be part of Inventures this year and join us in Calgary, May 29 – 31, 2024.”
Dr. Crum is a visionary futurist, neuroscientist, and innovator whose work sits at the intersection of technology advancement and human evolution.
