It is expected that more than 2,500 people will descend upon the Vancouver Convention Centre next week to gain insight from high-profile speakers and analysts on all things emerging from the tech sector.
The
Extraordinary Future Conference kicks off September 22-23 and highlights the top cutting-edge developments and transformative headlines in science, technology and culture so investors can position themselves accordingly. Investors can meet and connect with more than 100 leading tech companies from the public and private sectors, as well as start-ups. Investors can sit one-on-one with business leaders and influencers to enhance their portfolio.
An excellent opportunity to showcase Canadian technologies to the investment community, the XFuture 2019 conference is also an asset for small-cap publicly listed companies. It is an opportunity for companies to raise and connect with investors, but also for generating capital and making deals with other companies. Along with traditional tech sub-sectors, XFuture 2019 will cover its new/emerging sub-sectors, including e-gaming, cannabis tech, AI, battery-metals technology, and security technology.

This conference is just as invaluable for investors. Attendees have the chance for question and answer sessions with the senior executives and take in the latest presentations as these companies update investors on their operations.
Key speakers at the event include:
Former-bodybuilder Ben Greenfield, Plastic Bank Founder and CEO David Katz, and Dennis McKenna, Ph.D., whose research has focused mainly on the study of Amazonian ethnopharmacology and plant hallucinogens.
Some notable panel discussions include:
“How psychedelics like psilocybin could upturn the mental health industry” with ethnopharmacologist, research pharmacognosist, lecturer and author, Dennis Mckenna, who inspired the most relevant research regarding plant medicines and their therapeutic properties.
“Biohacking for the Masses, Introductory to Advanced Strategies and Tools” and
“I Tried Hiding from Silicon Valley in a Pile of Privacy Gadgets”, both by Time Magazine journalist Joel Stein, have titles that probably speak for themselves as to their colourful content.
Stockhouse will also be in attendance for this unparalleled opportunity to meet thousands of tech investors from all over the world. We will be an exhibitor (Booth #201), providing clips from selected presentations at the show. We will also be filming our own CEO interviews at this event. Expect these interviews to be made available to our audience in the following week.
