smarTALKS is a business forum that will engage entrepreneurs, thought leaders and innovators in forward-thinking conversations about “what’s next.” These discussions will explore the applications and technologies impacting today’s right-now economy and how businesses will need to adapt in order to remain relevant. These networking sessions will be offered as late afternoon, receptions style, held in the heart of downtown Ottawa.

Over the course of the 2011-12 season, smarTALKS sessions will discuss the emerging influences that will guide the future of global industry and how Ottawa companies and entrepreneurs can embrace these changes for their benefit.
