REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED 

Thinking Ahead of the Airplane: A Conversation with WestJet?s Alfredo Tan

Robert Lloyd, former CEO of Virgin Hyperloop One. 
Lawrence Levy, former CFO of Pixar. 
Marty Cooper, inventor of the cellphone. 

These are just a few of the incredible minds that have graced the stage of The Innovators, our annual event to celebrate Manitoba?s tech industry. It?s a way to connect with leaders, clients, and colleagues from across our innovation system over a meal at the beautiful RBC Convention Centre. 

This is an event that truly belongs to the tech community. It?s a time to gather, eat, drink and take a moment to pause and consider the significant contribution our sector makes to the economic well-being of our province. Celebrate yourself and the work of your peers, all while experiencing a once in a lifetime conversation on stage. 

The featured guest for The Innovators? ninth iteration is Alfredo Tan, Chief Digital and Innovation Officer for WestJet Airlines and Industry Professor at McMaster University. Not only is he responsible for building a culture of innovation while transforming WestJet into a digital enterprise, but he also worked as an Executive at Facebook and Instagram Canada, eventually bringing the social media platforms to the Philippines.

Tan?s talks are known to reveal the values your company needs to truly embrace the future, and stay ahead of changes in the tech landscape. He may point out some forward-thinking methods for you and your team. He may blow your mind a little bit. Through it all, he?ll make sure that even the most high-tech concepts are accessible for everyone in attendance. 
More than a talk, The Innovators is a conversation. Whether you?re watching an experienced journalist interview our guest speaker on stage, or picking the brains of some of the most important people in tech, you?ll walk away with a renewed curiosity and worldview. 

If you?ve never experienced The Innovators before, now is the time to start.
