Explore the World of AI
Welcome to our dedicated AI page — your central hub for AI insights, resources, events, and success stories across Atlantic Canada. Whether you are exploring how AI can support your business or looking to connect with the regional tech ecosystem, everything starts here.
The Future of Business Starts with AI
Imagine running your business without your smartphone, wifi, or the Internet. A year from now, that’s how your competitors will feel about artificial intelligence.
They are figuring it out – and so should you.
TechImpact and the McKenna Institute want to help – and it’ll cost you less than a Netflix subscription (which, by the way, is run by AI).
Join us for our inaugural Adopt AI series. We will have keynotes, panelists, and AI solution providers and integrators as part of the full day’s agenda.
