8:45 AM - 9:30 AM
Simplifying IT: Manage, Automate, Secure, and Protect
Technology is the backbone of every modern business, but it can also be one of the biggest risks if not managed properly. From data loss to cyberattacks, unexpected IT challenges can bring operations to a halt.
In this session, Miles Walker from Kaseya will share how businesses of all sizes can strengthen their resilience with practical tools for IT management, automation, security, and data protection. Learn how today’s technology can simplify your operations, safeguard critical information, and keep your business running — no matter what comes your way.

Tiana Bosnjak
Senior Channel Account Manager with Sophos Cybersecurity
9:45 AM - 10:30 AM
Stop Cyber Threats Before They Stop Your Business
For small and medium-sized businesses, cyber attacks aren’t just a tech problem — they’re a business problem. A single ransomware attack, phishing scam, or malware infection can halt operations, steal customer data, and cost time and money.
In this session, Tiana Bosnjak from Sophos will show how AI-powered tools combined with expert oversight can keep your business safe 24/7. If you want to keep your business running smoothly, protect your customers, and avoid costly downtime, this session will give you the actionable steps you need — simple, practical, and designed for real-world businesses like yours.

Fourth Speaker
Marko Bicanic
Treasury Banker Southern Alberta,
TD Bank
10:45 AM - 11:15 AM
Practical Fraud Prevention Strategies from TD Bank
Fraud isn’t just a “big business” problem — small and local businesses are often targets too. From fake invoices to phishing emails, scams are getting harder to spot. Marko Bicanic from TD Bank will share practical insights on how to protect your business from these risks.
A few simple steps can go a long way in protecting your business: double-checking payment requests, training staff on what suspicious emails look like, and using secure banking practices.
These strategies aren’t complicated — they’re practical, everyday habits that keep your money, your customers, and your reputation safe.
Third Speaker
Jermaine Clark
Executive Leadership and AI Business Solutions Lead with Sherweb Cloud Solutions
11:15 AM - 12:00 PM
The Impact of Generative AI on the Modern Workforce
Artificial Intelligence can feel like a big, complicated buzzword — but at its core, it’s just a tool. Generative AI, the type that can draft emails, summarize reports, or help brainstorm ideas, is already changing how businesses operate.
For local business owners, the impact isn’t about robots replacing people. It’s about freeing up time, making your team more efficient, and staying competitive, all while keeping the personal, human touch that makes our community strong.
In this session, Jermaine Clark from Sherweb will explain how to leverage technology, from AI to cloud management, to strengthen your operations and make your business more resilient.
