Building World-Class AI Teams: Canada is How You Win
Hiring in AI is brutal right now. Top engineers are scarce, costs are climbing and shifting H-1B visa rules only add to the pressure. If you’re leading engineering or R&D, the challenge to deliver has never been more real.
Enter Canada. Toronto and Montreal are two of the hottest AI hubs on the planet – home to pioneers like Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, 1,000+ AI startups, powerhouse institutes like Vector and MILA, and global R&D labs from Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Cohere, and OpenAI.
The result? Deep pools of production-ready talent, cost advantages, and an ecosystem designed to help businesses scale.
Join us in Midtown Manhattan for an inside look at how top VCs, AI founders, and engineering leaders are actually building and scaling AI teams - right now. This won’t be theory. It’s playbooks and lessons straight from the people making it happen.
Join Syndesus CEO, Marc Pavlopoulos as he guides a conversation with an expert panel including:
Michelle King, COO of AlleyCorp Nord
Charlie Newark-French, CEO of Cascade

David Humphrey, Senior Migration Official at Consulate General of Canada
What you’ll walk away with:
Where the most sought-after AI talent is emerging – and how to access it before competitors do
Insider perspectives from VCs on AI hiring, retention, and team scaling across portfolios
How top CTOs and VPs of Engineering are actually structuring teams that deliver production-ready solutions
Practical strategies for attracting talent that architect systems – not just writes code
