Local technology leaders will look to fire up the crowd onstage at TEDxKanata in March as they share their own perspectives on this year’s theme: Ignite.
This year marks the sixth iteration of the independently organized TEDx event in Kanata. True to the TED brand, the 2020 lineup will feature speakers that look to push the boundaries of the possible in their day-to-day work.

At TEDxKanata, Kennedy will discuss how to embrace the AI revolution in health care when it comes improving outcomes and protecting personal data.
Other speakers at the March 5 event will include J.P. Michel, founder of SparkPath and winner of Invest Ottawa’s pre-accelerator program, and Wendy Knight Agard, a coach with Shopify. Check out the full list of speakers here and grab your tickets now.
