Crypto, Blockchain, AI, and the Changing Landscape of Financial Markets

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax

Between crypto rebounds, AI breakthroughs, and shifting market moods, 2025 has been full of noise. This session takes a step back to see what’s actually happening underneath it all. We’ll start with the foundations: what makes Bitcoin work, how blockchain builds trust through decentralization and cryptography, and what’s new in crypto, including stablecoins, tokenization, institutional investment, and regulation reshaping the space. Then we’ll zoom out to how AI is transforming finance and where these two worlds are beginning to overlap. Using recent market data and investor sentiment, the talk connects the dots between technology, capital flows, and behaviour, uncovering where innovation is emerging and how markets are responding to it. 6:00PM – 6:15PM: Welcome & Registration 6:15PM – 6:20PM: Sponsor Speech 6:20PM – 7:00PM: Presentation 7:00PM – 7:45PM: Networking 7:45PM – 8:00PM: Program End

Beyond Usability: Design for Adoption

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax

Details You deliver a flawless product, built on user needs and tested, only to watch users quietly ignore it. Sounds familiar? The design isn’t the problem. The transition is. Even the best human-centred process can’t guarantee success if people aren’t ready for change. What if your work truly solved a problem? What if your products were wholeheartedly welcomed? Kedar Kadam, our November speaker, believes the key is guiding people through change during digital transformations and product development. We’ll explore ways to make products (and product changes) stick, not just get them launched. We'll dive into running change management alongside human‑centred design from day one to turn user resistance into fast and lasting "yes" and "thank you". Join us for a discussion on improving user adoption and rediscovering that sense of satisfaction when your work genuinely makes a difference. > Agenda 7:00 PM Doors open, networking time 7:15 PM Introductions from the event hosts, Nata and Ruby 7:20 PM Beyond Usability: Design for Adoption with Kedar Kadam 7:50 PM Q&A 8:15 PM Networking and wrap-up 8:45 PM Doors close > Speaker Bio Kedar Kadam is a UX leader with over two decades co-creating award-winning healthcare solutions that drive adoption and improve patient outcomes.
