Keynote Speaker - Dr. Suzanne Simard
Suzanne Simard is a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia
and the leader of The Mother Tree Project, which researches forest renewal practices
that will protect biodiversity against climate change. She has a global reputation
as a research pioneer on tree connectivity and communication.
Dr. Simard delivers powerful lectures about the fascinating interconnectedness of
trees and her revolutionary work on The Mother Tree Project. She also emboldens women
of all ages to pursue STEM careers, highlights the crucial role forests play in combating
climate change, and emphasizes the importance of appreciating our natural world. By
drawing powerful connections between the coordination and competition present in natural
ecosystems and the ways we cooperate and compete at work, she helps organizations
come to a better understanding of what it means to foster a network of trust, collaboration
and engagement, to the mutual benefit of members across the entire organization.
Dr. Simard will join us remotely. Her keynote address will be a virtual-only offering.
