#VTJLive: Building a Resilient BC: Technology’s Role in Protecting People, Infrastructure & the Economy
Climate risks, aging infrastructure, natural disasters, cybersecurity threats — BC faces growing pressures that demand new levels of resilience. But with challenge comes opportunity. Across the province, innovators, technologists, policymakers, and industry leaders are building solutions that can protect communities, strengthen critical systems, and safeguard BC’s economic future.
Join Vancouver Tech Journal and BCIT for an in-depth conversation on how technology is reshaping the way we anticipate, respond to, and recover from disruptions. From wildfire detection and emergency response to infrastructure modernization, workforce readiness, and data-driven decision-making, this event will explore where BC is leading, where gaps remain, and what it will take to build a truly resilient province.
What We’ll Explore:
The emerging technologies strengthening BC’s critical infrastructure
How data, AI, and predictive tools are helping governments and organizations respond faster and smarter
Innovations in wildfire management, climate resilience, and community protection
Strategies for safeguarding economic stability amid increasing environmental and technological risks
What collaboration between industry, government, and tech innovators must look like in the years ahead
Who Should Attend:
Leaders and professionals in tech, public sector, emergency management, infrastructure, sustainability, policy, and anyone invested in BC’s future resilience.
Why This Matters:
BC’s ability to adapt will define its long-term economic and social health. This event brings together the minds shaping that future — and offers an opportunity to learn, connect, and take action.
