About this Event
Is your team talking about AI? Are you wondering how to harness its power while navigating the challenges? You're not alone.
Join us for an evening of connection and forward-thinking conversation at the Ottawa Art Gallery on Wednesday, October 8th, 2025. We're bringing together leaders and experts to dive into the real-world experiences of nonprofits who are experimenting with and deploying AI.
This isn't another introduction to AI but instead a unique panel discussion that dives deep into how nonprofit leaders are thoughtfully harnessing the transformative potential of AI while also grappling with its paradoxes—from the organizational change management it requires to the critical questions it raises around ethics, safety, equity, and inclusion.
Whether you're curious about AI's potential or grappling with its complexities, this is your chance to learn from fellow sector leaders and ask tough questions.
Panelists:
- Alisa Simon - Executive Vice President, E-Health Transformation & Chief Youth Officer, Kids Help Phone
- Boromir Vallée Dore - CEO, Réseau SOLIDARITÉ Itinérance du Québec
- Omar Yaqub - Executive Director, IslamicFamily
- Tim Lockie - CEO, The Human Stack
