SUMMARY:Customized Environmental Data Integration and Automations from A to Z using Open-Source analytics software – Live Interactive Demo of a Custom-Made interactive Data App built for an Alberta Client
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Khalid Lemzouji \nAbout the presentation: \nIn today’s data-driven world\, decision-makers in environmental monitoring need seamless solutions that transform raw data from multiple sources into actionable insights. This presentation introduces a custom\, open-source platform designed to automate the entire data pipeline—from ingestion and integration to analysis and decision-making. By unifying data from various sources\, such as field sensors\, GIS\, and historical datasets\, this platform overcomes the limitations of siloed applications\, creating a centralized and secure environment for comprehensive environmental data management. \nThrough automated workflows\, the platform streamlines data ingestion and processing\, delivering consistent\, real-time insights while minimizing human intervention and error. Key features include robust GIS capabilities\, predictive analytics\, and a user-friendly interface that supports quick adoption across teams. Scalable and cost-effective\, this solution is also designed with advanced security measures to protect sensitive information. \nThis presentation will use a live interactive demo of the platform\, that was built for a client\, to delve into the architecture\, integration\, and automation benefits of this innovative solutions\, highlighting how it empowers decision-makers to quickly turn complex environmental data into strategic intelligence. By providing an efficient pathway from data sourcing to insight generation\, this platform enables organizations to make more informed\, proactive decisions in the evolving landscape of environmental monitoring. \nAbout the Presenter: \nKhalid Lemzouji is an environmental professional statistician and data scientists with 16 years’ experience in statistics\, data analytics and data visualization with the Alberta Oil and Gas and Environmental sector. His main experiences have been working with executives and decision makers to leverage their row data for defensible data-driven decision making through automating: \n\nData collection: from field\, lab or sensors\nData storage: processing\, cleaning\, standardizing and storing\nStatistical modeling: modeling\, correlations\, predictions and hypothesis testing\nCommunication: Graphs\, plots and trends for easy-to-understand visualization\n\nKhalid experience include data integration and automation for Suncor\, Enbridge\, Imperial\, Stantec\, Advisian\, Matrix Solutions\, TC energy\, Husky\, and Alberta\, BC and North Territories Metis and First Nations. Area of automations\, includes Ground Water and Surface Water monitoring\, Air monitoring\, Wildlife camera monitoring\, Birds survey\, Leak detections monitoring\, Pipelines risk monitoring\, Haul track reliability monitoring \nKhalid has a double bachelor’s in Statistics and Chemical engineering\, and a Master in Statistics/Mathematics from University of Alberta.  Khalid is a professional Statistician with the Canadian Society of Statistics and the American Statistical Society. \nWhen: \nDoors Open: November 20th\, 11:30am to 1:00pm \nPresentation time: November 20th\, 12:00pm to 12:45pm \n  \nVenue: \nRamada Plaza Downtown – Lombardy Room \n708 8 Ave SW \nCalgary\, AB T2P 1H2 \n  \nRegistration: \nRegistration is open for this event using the links below.

SUMMARY:AI Data Centres - Opportunities for Alberta and Sustainable Solutions
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the continuation of the CPANS Edmonton luncheon series\, a vital platform for professional development and networking within our community. Building on the success of last season\, we are set to reconvene at our esteemed venue\, the University of Alberta Faculty Club. This year\, we have curated a lineup of eight distinguished speakers who will provide valuable insights and foster engaging discussions on pertinent topics. Your participation and support are crucial to the success of these luncheons\, so please share this announcement with your network. \nPresenter: The Honourable Nate Glubish\, Minister of Technology and Innovation for Alberta \nAbout the presentation: \nAlberta stands at the forefront of becoming a hub for AI data centres\, thanks to its abundant energy resources\, skilled workforce\, and burgeoning tech sector. The establishment of AI data centres presents a significant opportunity for economic diversification\, job creation\, and the enhancement of Alberta’s digital infrastructure. However\, the substantial energy consumption of data centres necessitates a focus on sustainability. This presentation will explore sustainable solutions\, including leveraging Alberta’s renewable energy sources\, optimizing energy-efficient cooling systems\, and adopting carbon capture technologies. By prioritizing sustainable practices\, Alberta can attract global tech investments while minimizing environmental impact\, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable AI infrastructure. \nAbout the Presenter: \nThe Honourable Nate Glubish\, Minister of Technology and Innovation for Alberta\, will lead this insightful discussion. Minister Glubish has been instrumental in advancing Alberta’s technology sector\, focusing on innovation-driven growth and sustainable development. His leadership has been pivotal in positioning Alberta as a prime location for AI data centres\, emphasizing the province’s commitment to sustainable technological advancement. \nWhen: \nNovember 25th\, 11:00 am to 12:30 pm \nVenue: \nUniversity Club\, University of Alberta\n11435 Saskatchewan Drive\, Edmonton\, Alberta\, T6G 2G9 \nThe U of A campus is accessible via light rail transit and bus.
