Be inspired by Susan Aglukark’s keynote presentation, Nomad: Correcting the Narrative. This captivating 60-minute multimedia presentation weaves together music and storytelling to shed light on thousands of years of Canadian Inuit history, brought to life by the renowned Inuk singer/songwriter, Susan Aglukark, O.C.

After Susan’s presentation, a panel discussion will focus on the urgent climate challenges facing businesses today, offering practical solutions. Panelists will share their experiences and strategies for addressing these critical issues.

Susan Aglukark is Canada’s first Inuk artist to win a Juno (total of 4), a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for lifetime artistic achievement, and she is an officer of the Order of Canada. Susan holds several Honorary Doctorate degrees and has held command performances.
