What a way to kick off our third and final day at 2023!

We've had our host @acroll set the stage for Nele Leosk (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia) to summarize Estonia's digital development over the past 30 years, followed by a chat with John Cousens (Google Cloud), Honey Dacanay (McMaster University) dropping some big truths about Canada's digital journey, and finally Riley Ohler (J5 Design) sharing an incredibly powerful reminder to design with compassion and empathy.
