Powering Health and AI with Trusted Data

AI delivers the most value when it’s built around people, embedded in everyday workflows, and grounded in trusted information. Ahmad will share how DOCEO AI puts responsible, human-centered AI into practice to help organizations predict challenges, strengthen operations, and make better decisions.

🎤 “Responsible AI in Practice: The DOCEO AI Approach to Human Centered Organizational Intelligence”

🩺 Featured speaker for the DAMA Edmonton 12th Annual Conference at the NAIT Productivity Innovation Centre this November: Heather Hallett, Head of Healthcare Advisory at SAS!

Powering Health and AI with Trusted Data

Healthcare leaders hear big claims about analytics and AI every day. Organizations are becoming “data-driven,” “predictive,” and “AI-enabled.” But what does that actually look like in care delivery? Heather’s keynote asks a deceptively simple question: Show me.

🎤 Keynote: “Show Me: What Healthcare Leaders Can Learn from the Real-World Analytics & AI Deployments”

Before SAS, Heather spent over a decade as an intensive care nurse. She moved from bedside care into technology to extend her impact beyond individual patients, and has since built and transformed teams dedicated to healthcare innovation. A born-and-raised Canadian, she knows our healthcare system intimately.

What you’ll hear:
→ Global case studies on how analytics and AI are solving problems in care delivery, operations, workforce, utilization, and patient outcomes
→ How organizations move from what’s happening, to why, to what’s next, to changing outcomes
→ Why sophistication is about connecting the right question, evidence, approach, and action, not how advanced the tech is

The ultimate measure of analytics isn’t how sophisticated it looks. It’s what changes because you used it.

🗓 Conference: November 4–7

🤖 Featured Speaker & Workshop Leader for the DAMA Edmonton 12th Annual Conference at the NAIT Productivity Innovation Centre this November: Bruce Matichuk, CTO of MedWatch Technologies Inc.!

Powering Health and AI with Trusted Data

Are we approaching the singularity? What would artificial general intelligence mean for our work? Bruce traces the origins of the modern AI revolution, separates impressive capabilities from important limitations, and shows how AI agents are actually built, live on stage.

🎤 “AI and the Future of Data Management: From Big Questions to Working Agents”

A serial entrepreneur, Bruce founded Celcorp, Xymbiant, and Health Gauge, and has installed systems at IBM, Apple, Lockheed Martin, United Airlines, and more. At MedWatch, he’s bringing non-invasive blood sugar and vital health measurement to market through wearables. His team has developed a self-supervising AI system for bio-signal analysis and image processing.

What you’ll hear:
→ The core ideas behind AI and large language models
→ Practical applications for data management professionals
→ How AI-assisted coding, visual workflows, and conversational interfaces combine to create AI agents
→ A live demonstration using Syngentix
→ What it takes to build reliable AI solutions

🛠 Workshop (Nov 7): “Building Your Own AI Business Using Syngentix”
A full-day, practical workshop for business leaders and data professionals on how AI, from generative AI to intelligent agents, is transforming organizations. Learn how to start your own AI business or automate processes for real results.

🌱 Featured Speaker & Workshop Leader for the DAMA Edmonton 12th Annual Conference at the NAIT Productivity Innovation Centre this November: Donald Farmer, Principal at TreeHive Strategy, Research Fellow at TDWI, and VP of Research & Innovations at Nobody Studios!

Powering Health and AI with Trusted Data

Most employees already use AI, yet few organizations feel AI-mature. The usual fix is more roadmaps and frameworks. But real value often shows up elsewhere: a legal team quietly using LLMs to review contracts, or a purchasing manager who cut prep time in half with tools nobody approved.

🎤 “Why Organizational Readiness Matters More Than Technical Sophistication”

With 35+ years in data, analytics, and AI, Donald advises enterprises, startups, investors, and public-sector organizations on turning data and AI into business value. He has held leadership roles at Microsoft and Qlik, helping build BI products used worldwide.

What you’ll hear:
→ Why plan-heavy AI adoption often fails
→ How to cultivate conditions for discovery instead of dictating outcomes
→ Measuring success by adaptability, not a roadmap
→ A framework built on four modes of AI: prediction, research, creation, and action

🛠 Workshop (Nov 4): “From Legacy to AI-Ready: A Practitioner’s Guide to Modernizing Enterprise Architecture”
A hands-on, phased alternative to wholesale replacement. You’ll learn:
→ How generative AI can extract business logic from legacy systems
→ How AI-driven code translation reduces technical debt
→ How to augment existing systems rather than replace them
→ How to map your architecture and find high-value integration points
→ How to build a phased modernization plan driven by business outcomes

🗓 Conference: November 4–7

⚡ Featured speaker for the DAMA Edmonton 12th Annual Conference at the NAIT Productivity Innovation Centre this November: Stéphane Contré, Founder & Principal Consultant at Storm Analytics Corporation!

Powering Health and AI with Trusted Data

A year ago, Stéphane used AI mostly as an assistant. Today, he spends less time writing code and more time supervising AI agents, designing workflows, setting guardrails, and reviewing their work. He does it in policing and municipal government, where data is sensitive, mistakes have consequences, and “the AI said so” is never an acceptable answer.

🎤 “My Job Changed While I Wasn’t Looking (AI agents, analytics, and a very different way of working)”

Stéphane has spent 25+ years building analytical tools for operational decision-makers, from an insurgent-clustering algorithm in Afghanistan to an intelligence portal used by officers on patrol. As Chief Analytics Officer for the City of Edmonton, he grew the Analytics Centre of Excellence into a 38-person team and made Edmonton the first Canadian municipality to formally employ data scientists. At the Lethbridge Police Service, his locally hosted generative AI cut a 12-hour task to minutes. A former Canadian Armed Forces Infantry and Intelligence Officer, he received the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025.

What you’ll hear:
→ AI agents that explore databases, run analyses, build tools, and review other AI’s work
→ Why context often matters more than prompting
→ Why using AI well sometimes means relinquishing control
→ How multiple models can bootstrap complex work
→ Why it now makes sense to solve problems once too small to bother with

No product tour, very little crystal-ball gazing. Just what’s working, what’s failed spectacularly, and what changed his mind about the future of analytics.
