The CVC Playbook: Investing in AI with AI

The CVC Playbook: Investing in AI with AI brings together corporate venture leaders from Calgary and Silicon Valley investors for a candid conversation on how AI is changing the way investors source, evaluate, and build conviction around new opportunities. The session will explore the evolving CVC playbook, from using AI in diligence and decision-making to separating signal from hype when investing in AI itself. Expect a highly interactive discussion on risk, speed, strategic value, market timing, and how investment thinking differs across ecosystems. Rather than a traditional panel, the conversation will be designed to pull the room in, challenge assumptions, and surface the perspectives investors are actually using to make decisions today.
