Lethbridge Brighter Together presents an experience unlike any other. With conferences, large gatherings and networking opportunities in person on hold for now, join us in Virtual Reality (VR) for an afternoon discussing the local, provincial, national and international economic outlook. The Brighter Together VR Forum - Jobs, Economy & Innovation will be a great way to spend an afternoon with community partners and stakeholders through a unique platform.
Hosted and moderated by Economic Development Lethbridge Board of Directors Chair, Chris Stasiuk, presenters will include:
- Hon. Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation, Government of Alberta
- Cyndi Vos, Chief Executive Officer, Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce
- Trevor Lewington, Chief Executive Officer, Economic Development Lethbridge
With help from the students and instructors from the Lethbridge College Virtual and Augmented Reality Certificate, you'll spend time in the Brighter Together virtual reality world. You'll also have the chance to network with participants and industry leaders in what we're calling our virtual opportunity pods. Learn more about Canadas's Premier Food Corridor, Canada's Western Gateway Logistics Corridor, RINSA, Workforce Development Initiatives and the Lethbridge College VR/AR Program.

Attendees who purchase this package will need to provide a physical address for drop off of their experience box.
