Ocean Frontier Institute Conference 2022

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel 1919 Upper Water St, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Climate is at the top of the international policy agenda and is creating massive risks and opportunities in the commercial sector. Understanding the changing ocean is critical to predicting the future of climate. The ocean stores hundreds of times the heat and 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere and takes up more carbon than all the rainforests combined. Some of the most pressing global issues at the frontier of the ocean-climate nexus are achieving net zero, developing sustainable food from the ocean, and protecting ocean biodiversity. Conference delegates from industry and policy will share their visions and challenges for sustainable development of these topics over the next decade. They will motivate the next frontier of ocean research by highlighting key questions to advance the field and outline their commitments to action to make an impact on solving some of the most pressing issues at the ocean-climate nexus. Ocean Frontier Institute researchers will join the dialog and present results from their studies that contribute directly to enabling the future of critical policy and industry decisions.

The Public Sector Innovation Show – Atlantic

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel 1919 Upper Water St, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

In Atlantic Canada, accelerating digital transformation is happening across the public sector – organizations are collaborating and involving industry partners in the design of processes by actively soliciting ideas, gathering feedback, and co-creating better public service solutions. When we work together with organizations and experts across a wide range of departments, we can turn ideas into real solutions and make them available for citizens. For the Atlantic public sector, this opens the door to reimagine a future in which all citizens have access to the benefits and opportunities of the digital economy. The Public Sector Innovation Show – Atlantic is a one-day event designed to provide inspiration, tools, and information for public sector leaders to drive overall growth in their departments and the region. This conference will give the community an opportunity to meet each other and have meaningful conversations with some of the leading innovative ‘doers’ in Atlantic Canada.
