We're bringing the heat to Startup Week on October 8th, with a comedian-hosted evening of hot takes. Two weeks later, we're getting into what AI can (and can't) teach us about the human mind.

🌶️ October 8th - Hot Takes: Edmonton Startup Week Edition
Co-hosted by: Artemis Canada
Edmonton Startup Week packs five days of workshops, socials, and events into one citywide push to get the tech community talking. This Tech Thursday, we’re switching up the format. It’s not a panel!
Adam Dyck, comedian and host of LRT Takes, is joining us to facilitate a no-filter conversation, sitting down with founders, operators, and investors from Edmonton’s tech scene as they put their unpopular opinions on the table.
On the hot seat:
Kristina Milke, General Partner, Sprout Fund
Tristan Ham, COO & Co-Founder, Unbounded Thinking
Anthea Sargeaunt, CEO, 2S Water
Kristina McDougall, Founder & Managing Partner, Artemis Canada
Tech Thursday is presented by Ramp:
Ramp is now in Canada, and has recently opened an office in Toronto.
In a recent Forrester’s 3-year analysis of business using Ramp, they found that Ramp delivers a 408% ROI to enterprises. Ramp helps replace fragmented card, expense, payment, procurement, and accounting workflows with one AI-powered platform for greater visibility, control, and efficiency.
💭 October 22nd - AI on the mind: Uses and effects of AI in psychology
This Tech Thursday, we’re exploring where AI and the human mind meet: what brain research and language models can teach us about each other, how AI is already showing up in psychology and mental health, and the ethical questions that come with it.
Featuring:
Geoffrey Rockwell, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities Computing, University of Alberta
Alona Fyshe, Associate Professor, University of Alberta
Moderated by: Kirsten Sokolovski, Host, Tech Thursday
