Racism is bad training data - a conversation with Fireside Analytics Founder, Shingai Manjengwa, about race relations, systemic racism, data, AI, leadership, and building a workforce of the future. Bring a pen, paper, and an open mind.

The Public Policy Forum’s multi-year project on the Future of Work has been exploring the impact of technological change and other mega trends and their implications on living standards, income distribution, learning needs and work opportunities for Canadians. When we look back on 2020, we’ll see a turning point, but right now the destination is unclear. Join us on June 16, 17, & 18 for a free 3-part virtual conference on the future of work in Canada. It's not too late - register for free today!
