This requires a shift from viewing AI as a tool or technical capability to treating it as a strategic, organization-wide transformation.<\/p>\r\n<p>Anchored in the theme of trust and accountability, this session will explore how leaders move beyond experimentation to deliver meaningful value for citizens. The discussion will focus on making deliberate, defensible choices about where AI can solve measurable problems; embedding governance, privacy, and risk considerations from the outset; and ensuring clear ownership of outcomes across policy, technology, and operations.<\/p>\r\n<p>Confirmed speakers include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"#bios\"><strong>Katy Lalonde<\/strong><\/a>, Chief Digital and Data Officer, Supply Ontario<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#bios\"><strong>Sirad Mohamoud<\/strong><\/a>, Director and Deputy Registrar General, Vital Events Registry Services Branch, ServiceOntario<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#bios\"><strong>Stephanie Oldfield<\/strong><\/a>, Director, Community Safety and Corrections Policy, Ministry of the Solicitor General, Ontario Public Service<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#bios\"><strong>Dara Renton<\/strong><\/a>, Assistant Director, Product, Ministry of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #0f3fb7;\"><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>3:30-4 p.m.<\/strong>: Registration and Networking<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>4-5:30 p.m.<\/strong>: Panel Discussion, Audience Q&A<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>5:30-6:30 p.m.<\/strong>: Cocktail Reception and Networking<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #0f3fb7;\">Register<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p>In-Person Registration<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a class=\"cta\" href=\"https:\/\/members.technationcanada.ca\/event\/WIL-Sept15\">Members: $85<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a class=\"cta\" href=\"https:\/\/members.technationcanada.ca\/event\/WIL-Sept15\">Non-members: $170<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Virtual Registration<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a class=\"cta\" href=\"https:\/\/members.technationcanada.ca\/event\/WIL-Sept15-virtual\">Members: $25<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a class=\"cta\" href=\"https:\/\/members.technationcanada.ca\/event\/WIL-Sept15-virtual\">Non-members: $50<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #0f3fb7;\">Sponsors<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>Co-host Sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdo.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16940 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/technationcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BDO_logo_RGB_cropped-300x119.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technationcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BDO_logo_RGB_cropped-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/technationcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BDO_logo_RGB_cropped-1024x406.png 1024w, https:\/\/technationcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BDO_logo_RGB_cropped.png 1221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p> <\/p>\r\n<p><strong>VIP Reception Sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/ca-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2507\" src=\"https:\/\/technationcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/accenture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"101\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><em>Sponsorship is available, contact Christine Leonard at <span style=\"color: #0f3fb7;\"><a style=\"color: #0f3fb7;\" href=\"mailto:cleonard@technationcanada.ca\">cleonard@technationcanada.ca<\/a><\/span> for information.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<h4 id=\"bios\"><span style=\"color: #0f3fb7;\">Speaker Bios<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16850 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/technationcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Katy-Lalonde-Headshot-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Katy Lalonde<\/strong><br \/><em>Chief Digital and Data Officer, Supply Ontario<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Katy Lalonde is the Chief Digital and Data Officer at Supply Ontario and has over 15 years of public sector experience across technology, policy, and operations.
