The Enlightened Economy Summit 2021 is a virtual event series brought to you by MacEwan University in partnership with Net Impact Edmonton, BDC and Roundhouse. This year’s edition—themed A Better Economy Includes All of Us—will explore the responsibility we each have to ensure our economy serves everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender and socioeconomic status.

This event series will bring together a variety of perspectives from across campus and the community to get inspired and have a collision of ideas that spark innovation for community-engaged learning, scholarship and research.

It’s also an opportunity for you to connect with local businesses and not-for-profit organizations to learn more about how they have been impacted by social, public, and business challenges, and have discussions about how MacEwan can play a role in tackling them. Past editions have proven to be a great source of new ideas for teaching, scholarship and research activities!

October 7 | 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
