This video series features short messages from people who will be attending True North, Communitech’s biggest conference, which will be held for the first time in May 2018. True North will bring together influencers, policy makers, entrepreneurs, developers, scientists, and game changers for crucial conversations about the future of tech as a force for good. From the impact of artificial intelligence to issues of diversity to the spread of “fake news,” leaders and innovators have become the focus of a conversation that has the potential to reshape our values and beliefs around tech’s role in humanity.

Meet Elizabeth (Lizzy) Azuya, Digital Marketer at Kiiah, an e-gifting platform that encourages meaningful gifting. Lizzy has a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from the University of Waterloo, Digital Innovation Skills Certificate from Wilfrid Laurier University. She is a believer in tech for good and is going to be a volunteer at #TrueNorth18.

We asked her: “Why are you going to True North?”
