Connecting In The Age of AI Agents: We have a Showcase
Connecting in the Age of AI Agents
How AI Agents Are Rewriting Business
Friday, May 22, 2026
AI Discovery Place – Ground Floor Enterprise Square (University Of Alberta)
5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
This is not an event about AI tools.
This is about the people shaping what AI becomes.
We’re entering a new era where AI doesn’t just respond, it acts. It makes decisions. It executes. It participates.
The real question is no longer “What can AI do?”
It’s “Who is directing it, and toward what future?”
During Upper Bound Week, Fusion Forum returns for its 5th edition, a curated gathering designed to explore how AI Agents are transforming business, creativity, and society… and more importantly, how we guide that transformation in a way that benefits everyone.
Why You Need to Be in the Room
Because this isn’t content, it’s context.
You can watch talks online.
You can read about AI anywhere.
But here, you:
Hear what isn’t yet published
See what isn’t yet launched
Engage in conversations that shape real decisions
Challenge ideas in real time with the people building them
This is where perspective shifts, not just information.
Who This Is For
This is for people who don’t just consume the future, they feel responsible for it.
The ones who question where things are going
The ones who see connections others miss
The ones who care about impact, not just output
The ones who want to build, influence, and shape what comes next
If you’ve ever thought “there has to be a better way forward” this room is for you.
