Digital Futures Symposium

The Digital Futures Symposium is co-hosted by Smith School of Business at Queen’s University, Ivey Business School at Western University and DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University to facilitate collaboration between industry and academia to advance Canada’s global position in Digital Futures.

"Digital Futures" refers to the exploration and speculation about the potential directions, impacts, and transformations that emerging digital technologies may bring about in various aspects of society, economy, culture, and individual life. Increasingly digitalization initiatives are falling short on strategic objectives and Canada continues to fall behind other countries on advancing their digital agenda.

Moving Canada forward requires new and innovative approaches to knowledge creation and mobilization. As such, uncovering opportunities is the purpose of this symposium.
