Description

What is a Salon? A Salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. Conversation is the core of who we are. At Talk Boutique, we host Salons quarterly as a way of featuring brilliant speakers and topics that are driving our society. These events are a great way to network while enjoying delicious food and drinks. We are excited to introduce our next salon in partnership with SingularityU Canada. Convergence or Conflict? "In a world of exponential technology where every system, every structure and even what it means to be human is being redefined, is the convergence of technology the holy grail that propel us toward an abundant future; or, is it a catalyst for conflict, unleashing unknown consequences." Meet Our Speakers Salim Ismail Salim is the best-selling author of Exponential Organizations, a sought-after business strategist, and a serial entrepreneur, having founded technology companies including Confabb, PubSub Concepts and Angstro, which was acquired by Google in 2010. He led Brickhouse, Yahoo!'s internal incubator and was recently named an XPRIZE Foundation Board member. Salim is also Founding Executive Director of Singularity University; Chairman of ExO Works; Founder of the ExO Foundation; an Aion Advisory Board member; and General Partner of Rokk3r Fuel ExO Venture Fund.
