Concordia University is developing a digital strategy. This is just one of the transformational projects being under undertaken in 2017-18 as part of the Strategic Directions initiative to position Concordia as a next-generation university.

To engage faculty, staff and students in this process, we are bringing a diverse group of thought-leaders to the university as part of the Concordia President’s Speaker Series on Digital Futures.

They will share their experience and insights to spark conversations and reflections as we work together to develop a shared vision for Concordia's digital future.

On February 20, we welcome Francis Baillet, vice-president of Corporate Affairs of Ubisoft, a leading creator, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and services, with a rich portfolio of world-renowned brands.
