Send us a textWhat happens when a talent acquisition strategy evolves into a national movement connecting Canada's fragmented tech ecosystems? Philippe Burns, recently named one of Calgary's top innovators in Avenue Magazine, reveals the remarkable journey behind Tech Thursday—a grassroots event series that's become the beating heart of Alberta's innovation community.From its humble beginnings as a Neo Financial recruitment initiative to its current status as an independent company hosting 175+ events with over 20,000 attendees, Tech Thursday represents a masterclass in community-building. The secret? Creating casual environments where meaningful connections happen organically, without the forced networking that plagues so many tech events.Burns introduces us to the "flywheel effect"—the powerful cycle where successful tech companies spawn new ventures, creating self-reinforcing momentum that transforms entire regions. This pattern, witnessed in innovation hotspots worldwide, is emerging in Alberta's ecosystem, with Neo Financial (itself a Skip the Dishes offshoot) now catalyzing numerous startups.Most compelling is Tech Thursday's mission to dissolve boundaries between traditionally isolated Canadian tech communities. Their expansion to Edmonton and Ottawa aims to facilitate crucial cross-city relationships between investors, founders, and talent. As Burns explains, "We're adding more cities, but we're also connecting investors, founders, maybe their first engineering hire between these cities as well, so we can build a stronger Canadian-wide tech hub."For founders and community builders alike, this candid conversation offers invaluable insights into balancing ambition with authenticity, quantity with quality, and hype with genuine value.

Bill transitioned from being an architect to a technology leader, making the crucial decision to stop designing and focus on teaching and implementing design tools after gaining early expertise in Revit (2004). At DLR Group, he evaluates technology investments using three key criteria: improving efficiency, enhancing quality, and enabling better design capabilities - projects must meet all three to be prioritized. The firm has a unique approach to R&D investment, with dedicated budgets and teams, unlike many AEC firms that invest minimally in innovation and technology development. His team follows a "20% automation rule" - aiming to automate 20% of routine work year-over-year, focusing on tasks like file archiving and project setup to free up time for more valuable activities. DLR Group uses a structured forum system to identify and prioritize technology needs, including sector-specific forums (like K-12, Cultural) and discipline forums (Architecture, Engineering), ensuring comprehensive input. Bill emphasizes gradual technology adoption using a "balloon analogy" - change is more effective when driven from within the organization rather than pushed from outside. The firm actively pursues partnerships with other companies to share technology development costs, as demonstrated by their collaboration on the space program module with Imaginit. Rather than focusing solely on computational design, DLR Group emphasizes machine learning and AI, with a strategy centered on collecting and grooming data for future predictive design capabilities. For smaller firms with limited resources, Bill recommends partnering with other firms to maximize technology investments and leverage shared development costs. A major challenge in implementing AI in the AEC industry is the complexity of data and the rare combination of data science and AEC expertise needed to effectively utilize it.
