A room is a delivery mechanism. The product is what comes out of it — the partnership, the contract, the project that finally moves. These are the gatherings I have produced, and what each was designed to do.
Strategy, community development and production
I helped build DataCon from a local gathering into a nationally recognized data and AI event. The work was recruiting credible speakers, building cross-sector partnerships, and designing an agenda senior people would actually clear a day for.
Founder & President
Future Summit is the platform I built to connect technology leaders and legacy industries with capital groups, institutional buyers and policy leaders at every level of government. The flagship gathering is one delivery mechanism among several — the rest of the year runs on curated dinners, roundtables, delegations and a year-round platform.
Identified deal and project value across the network
Modelled as convertible, applying a 3% conversion assumption
Contracts closed by one partner through relationships formed on the platform
A power agreement initiated between two parties introduced at one of our receptions
A note on these numbers. “Supported” and “initiated” describe my contribution and the platform's — an introduction made, a room built, a relationship carried to the point of a decision. None of it implies the transaction value was revenue to me or to Future Summit. The $6B figure is a model, not a commitment: it is what a 3% conversion assumption produces against $193B in identified value.
Bringing generation, grid, data-centre developers and capital into the same room while the projects are still shapeable.
Small, deliberately composed tables. Fewer people, longer conversations, and a reason for each person to be there.
Working sessions with companies, investors, counties and municipalities on project visibility and what is actually blocking execution.
Trade and investment relationships across Asia, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific — structured so value returns to Alberta.
Putting high-agency young people next to credible operators and consequential problems rather than simulations.
Tell me who needs to be in it and what has to come out of it. Upcoming Future Summit dates live on the Future Summit site.
