We are excited to announce that Calgary chapter executive members have confirmed speaker Todd Hirsch, Navigator of Economic Disruption, Speaker, Author for Thursday, May 29.
With the rules of geopolitics being rewritten, Canada’s economy is in unfamiliar and unpleasant territory. Traditional pillars of trade security and interest rate stability have been compromised. The pre-pandemic calm and complacency have been replaced with complexity, confusion and chaos. For employers, staffing and temporary staffing challenges are particularly acute. Todd will provide an overview on what we can expect in the coming months.
When: Thursday, May 29
Time: 1:30pm-3:30pmMST
Where: Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel (2620 32 Avenue NE Calgary, AB T1Y 6B8).
Can't attend in person. No problem! We will be broad casting virtually.
An economist by training, Todd recently served as the Director of Energy Transition Centre, an incubator of tech startups focused on navigating our path toward net-zero carbon.

He has also spoken to hundreds of business audiences across the United States and Canada, and international audiences from Venezuela to Dublin.
