4th Annual ANSYS Innovation Conference

Date: May 8th, 2019

Time: 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM

Location: Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Drive, Ottawa, Kanata, ON K2K 2W2, Canada
 
Registration: via website: https://www.ansys.com/about-ansys/events/19-05-08-ottawa-innovation-conference

Innovation enables organizations to open new avenues of product differentiation by customizing products. In today’s rapidly changing business environment, engineers must innovate quickly to incorporate new features while reducing development costs and delivering new products to the market before the competition. Simulation plays a key role in helping engineers drive innovation, enabling complete virtual prototypes of complex systems to be validated across all physics and engineering disciplines.

Join us as we return to Ottawa for our 4th Annual ANSYS Innovation Conference on May 8, 2019! This one-day conference will provide detailed insight into how leading companies are utilizing simulation to advance their product development. We will bring together ANSYS users, partners, developers, and industry experts for networking, learning, and sharing of new ideas.


Experience new simulation capabilities that provide unprecedented design insight as they speed your time to market

Abstract
It is widely acknowledged that AI technology will transform organizations and society around the globe – and with recent advancements in processing power, data accessibility, and algorithms we suddenly find ourselves at the beginning of this transformation.

Introducing the Machine Trust Index (MTI), assisting us to boldly proceed with a responsible, innovative spirit. The goal of the MTI is to establish an open and versatile framework for measuring and managing trust in the evolving sphere of AI. The MTI provides measurable evidence, transparency and accountability of an AI solution, allowing providers to effectively communicate the value of their solutions as well as their measurable trustworthiness.


Speaker Bio:
Niraj Bhargava is Founder and CEO of NuEnergy.ai, the developers of the Machine Trust Index™ (MTI) for managing AI deployments. He is also Chair of the Innovation Committee of the Board at the Royal Ottawa. Niraj was President and CEO of Enerstat Limited, and led it through its turnaround and acquisition, Founding CEO of QCED Inc., a faculty member in Entrepreneurship at Queen’s University, a Director of the Queen’s Executive MBA, and then Dean of the Business School at Royal Roads University. Niraj practiced engineering at Bell-Northern Research and global marketing at General Electric, and was the founding General Manager of GE Energy Management.
