Final note from #CollisionConf: Attendees have very little fear that artificial intelligence will supplant individual creativity.— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
Instead, it gives us new frontiers of knowledge and experience to explore. pic.twitter.com/dFriExBAsH
As #CollisionConf empties out, I've met a lot of people who say Calgary and Edmonton stole the show. Through creative promotion and bringing lots of entrepreneurs - as well as Calgary mayor Nenshi, who spent a whole day schmoozing.— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
By contrast, Waterloo Region had scant presence. pic.twitter.com/GayMLuj6h9

As the ballots are counted at #CollisionConf, the VC judges say they're impressed with the quality of pitches, and the representation of female founders.

Final presenter at #CollisionConf is Julie Angus, CEO of OpenOcean Robotics, which gathers ocean environment data through solar- and wind-powered drone boats.

A real crowd-pleaser at #CollisionConf: Dickson Nsofor of Nigeria-based KoraPay. It provides cross border payments for Africans - 800 million of whom have no access to financial services. Nsofor reminds us: "Africa is becoming China's China." (ie, a blue-ocean market). pic.twitter.com/rdOuRxsoSz— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
At #CollisionConf, Kevin Adekayode of https://t.co/onUmwbMBjI pitches to 20 VCs. His platform offers easy, cheap, secure access to Bitcoin payments. pic.twitter.com/dQRtE3XAXX— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
At #CollisionConf, Hassan Murad pitches for Vancouver-based https://t.co/J09HrwtibV. Its smart garbage/recycling system, Oscar, gets very grouchy when you put your trash in the wrong bin. Intuitive plans to use its data to become "the Google of garbage." pic.twitter.com/0E8KsK1uAa— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
Great pitch at #CollisionConf from Lisa Tarayo of Calif-based Scollar. They produce an all-in-one connectivity collar for pets, monitoring pet health, activity and location. Mashable says it "makes pet care a walk in the park." pic.twitter.com/UTH1b753WD— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
#Collision closes today with a pitch competition. First of seven founders pitching to 20 VCs is Kristen Langenfeld, CEO of Good Buy Gear, platform for reselling kids' stuff.

At #Collision, Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey (founder of Oculus) is a strong proponent of developing AI-powered weaponry for the U.S. and allied militaries. He makes no apologies for working in defence. If you don't like the U.S. army, he says, you'll like the Russians a lot less. pic.twitter.com/ZJiL6D08ip— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
At #Collision, Stephen Lake of Kitchener-based North talks about the his breakthrough computer interface -- glasses with virtual display that keep you in touch without disconnecting you from your environment. They even shut off notifications when you're talking face-to-face. pic.twitter.com/tGj01WQsBb— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
At impromptu press conference at #Collision, science minister Navdeep Bains is asked about development of an innovation centre in Toronto. Bains turns it into a shot against Doug Ford's Ontario govt, which cut funding for AI and other innovation. "We think it's wrongheaded." pic.twitter.com/IsJmsL32bn— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
At a #CollisionConf session on automation, some panelists seem afraid of tech from certain countries (eg China, Russia).— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
Science minister Navdeep Bains sums it up positively: "We are in a global innovation race. Progress is not something we have a choice about." pic.twitter.com/YlusgPsppK
At #Collision, science and innovation minister Navdeep Bains says the Canadian government sees technology, especially AI, as mainly positive. But then explains how expansion of skills training is key to mitigating tech's most malignant side-effects. pic.twitter.com/uoYzIeS62u— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
Lovely gesture. #Collision founder Paddy Cosgrave thanks the conference's volunteers by onviting a host of them on-stage. pic.twitter.com/mKi5sEdMpr— Rick Spence (@rickspence) May 22, 2019
