This invitational forum convenes researchers, builders, and industry leaders to co-design a new research and talent-training program for an emerging technological era, one where programmable money and autonomous AI agents are reshaping how value moves and decisions get made.Rather than a traditional conference, this is a collaborative working session. Attendees will help shape the direction of the program alongside speakers and conveners.Event DetailsDate: Tuesday, July 28, 2026Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Mountain TimeVenue: Indigo Room, Alt Hotel — University District, 482 McLaurin St NW, Calgary, Alberta T3B 2X9Format: Industry working sessionCost: Free — registration requiredSeating is limited.

The detailed program will be available closer to the event.Stablecoins and Digital Assets Industry in Alberta — Brian Ford, ATB FinancialNext-generation Banking with Canada's Regulated Stablecoin — Kevin Zhang, LoonIntroduction to the Canadian Blockchain Consortium and Blockchain Insurance — Koleya Karringten, Canadian Blockchain ConsortiumKeeping Stablecoin Transactions Safe in Agentic Environments — Youssef Harkati, BrightOnLABSOpen for Discussion: Co-Designing Fintech Talent TrainingBecause of Alberta's friendly cryptocurrency regulations, many prominent digital-asset companies, such as Loon and Stablecorp, are headquartered in the province. What talent-training programs can universities design to build the skills these fintech leaders need in Canada? Starting with small steps such as a certificate program or minor, co-designed with industry, this would provide convincing proof that our graduates are ready to work at fintech companies.Why This MattersStablecoins are quietly rewriting payments while agentic AI reshapes how work gets done, yet Canada still has no curriculum for the engineers, researchers, and operators who will have to ship at that intersection, so this is the day we start drafting it. Rather than sitting through slides, attendees spend the day in working conversation with the practitioners, founders, and policy voices shaping how programmable money actually moves, in Canada and globally, and leave with relationships rather than notes. That conversation is grounded in a uniquely Alberta advantage: with the country's most accommodating regulatory and banking environment for fintech and blockchain ventures, founders and prospective founders can trace concrete pathways to support, capital, and partnership, from first idea to launch. And because the room brings together banks, payment processors, AI labs, and infrastructure firms already hiring at this frontier, students and early-career engineers connect directly with the internships and roles that turn a day of talk into a career.OrganizersHenry Leung — Professor, Schulich School of Engineering, University of CalgarySteve Drew — Associate Professor, Schulich School of Engineering, University of CalgaryConveners & SponsorsConvened by the University of Calgary (Schulich School of Engineering and Faculty of Science) and the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, with thanks to IEEE and the Schulich School of Engineering for sponsoring this event!For more information, please check https://stablecoinyyc.github.io/ - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/ieee-stablecoin-and-agentic-ai-forum/100001990352621269 - **Event Categories**: business, it, workshops, nonprofit, conferences, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours - Location: Alt Hotel Calgary University District - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Alt Hotel Calgary University District - **lat**: 51.07793729999999 - **long**: -114.147582 - **full address**: Alt Hotel Calgary University District, 482 McLaurin Street Northwest, Calgary, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IEEE Stablecoin & Agentic AI Forum - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/5bccb3524a98ad2bfdc657824b5940c35228a39068df30a593f3bd58851c2e25-rimg-w1200-h600-dc0e1215-gmir.jpg?v=1780235476 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IEEE Stablecoin & Agentic AI Forum being held? - **A:** IEEE Stablecoin & Agentic AI Forum takes place on Tue, 28 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am to Tue, 28 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Alt Hotel Calgary University District, 482 McLaurin Street Northwest, Calgary, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing IEEE Stablecoin & Agentic AI Forum? - **A:** IEEE Stablecoin & Agentic AI Forum is organized by Denos Lab. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
