ad for conference

Have you heard of quantum computing? Is it the next BIG THING? Will quantum computing take artificial intelligence to a much higher level? Join us for a clear, candid look at a technology poised to influence how organizations compete and how people will live and work.

The University of Toronto Institute for Management & Innovation (IMI), in collaboration with the Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC) is pleased to invite you to the 2026 IMI Frontiers of Innovation Conference.

Quantum computing is a new kind of computer that could solve certain problems that are beyond the capability of today’s machines. For the right tasks, it may turn work that takes years, into minutes. More than speed, it could reveal new ways to enhance healthcare, design better products, build smarter infrastructure, and create stronger systems, while raising vital questions about ethics, talent, and responsible use.

JOIN US. This conference is free and open to everyone. A light luncheon will be provided. No technical background is required, and no familiarity with quantum computing is necessary. The conversations will be clear, engaging, and relevant to all. Expect real‑world explanations, lively discussion, and straightforward views on the future of this significant emerging technology.
