 The Fourth Industrial Revolution: Knowledge is Power, but Clarity Is the New Superpower
Thursday February 19, 2026 11:40am - 12:40pm MST
RDP MAIN STAGE/ AC117 (ARTS CENTRE) @ 100 College Blvd, Red Deer, AB T4N 5H5
Alberta is on the front edge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where rapid advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, and digital technologies are reshaping far more than the just the future of work. These shifts are changing how young people learn, connect, struggle, and thrive, and they are showing up as new opportunities, increased pressures, and growing complexity for us all. In this keynote, Dr. McRae will unpack what is changing across our society and why it matters for public education in Alberta right now. He will connect emerging trends to the lived reality of teaching today, and discuss how schools can respond with clarity and confidence amidst the noise.
