OBI Heads to Ottawa for the Future of Business Summit

April 14, 2026

The Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) will attend the Future of Business Summit in Ottawa on April 20–21, 2026, as an event sponsor. Organized by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Summit brings together business leaders, policymakers, and innovators for high-profile keynotes, curated networking, and conversations shaping Canada's economic future.

Bryce Pickard, President and COO, and Christa Studzinski, Head of External Relations and Partnerships, will represent OBI at the Summit.

Pickard will deliver opening remarks at Breakout Session 2: Closing Canada's Productivity Gap Through the Brain Economy, taking place Monday, April 20 from 4:05 to 4:35 PM ET. The session examines how business leaders and policymakers can make brain capital investment a cornerstone of Canada's productivity agenda, turning an underleveraged asset into a defining national advantage.

As Braindate Sponsor, OBI is supporting the curated one-on-one and small-group conversations that connect attendees around shared ideas and challenges. Attendees interested in talking brain health, neurotech, or Canada's innovation agenda are encouraged to reach out.
