Everyone is welcome.

Join us for this fun and engaging session where David Leangen, P.Eng., PMP will present on:


Going AI-Native

AI is changing how organizations build products and make decisions. Some companies are AI-native by design; others are layering AI onto existing ways of working. This talk explains what it actually means to be AI-native and outlines the practical shifts in mindset, structure, and engineering practice required to get there.

We'll cover AI-native architecture and delivery patterns, including LLM-augmented development workflows, human-in-the-loop systems, and the implications for data pipelines, testing, and governance.


Coffee and Tea will be served.
Feel free to grab a lunch at the Fort Cafe, located on site.



About the Presenter:

David Leangen, P.Eng., PMP is a longtime entrepreneur who founded his first AI company in 2000. He is currently Director of Software, Data & AI at Miraterra, a Vancouver-based soil health startup.


About the Organizers:

This event is organized by Steve Harris, founder of AI4Enterprise and Rob Cooper, Founder of PlusROI Online Marketing, along with the generous support of VIATEC.
