Integrate with a community of redemptive builders.

Building in the Age of AI:
What Story Are We Living?

CRE welcomes Joanna Ng as our next Startup Starters Huddle speaker.

Joanna Ng is an AI technologist, inventor, and thought leader who spent years leading innovation at IBM, earning the title IBM Master Inventor with 50 patents to her name. She later served as Head of Research and Director of the Centre for Advanced Studies at IBM Canada, and today leads her own startup, Devarim Design, developing truth-driven, decentralized AI systems. Beyond her achievements in technology, Joanna has been a pioneering voice at the intersection of faith and innovation, mentoring Christians to live out their priestly calling in the workplace.

Drawing from her journey at the forefront of AI, Joanna will help us wrestle with the defining questions of our time:

AI is smart — but to what extent should we allow it to shape our ventures and our lives?
If AI can serve us so well, what stops it from quietly becoming the idol we serve?
We know AI is intelligent — but can it ever be wise?

If you are a venture builder, innovator, or leader navigating the challenges of an AI-driven world, this Huddle is for you. Come ready to be inspired by Joanna’s story and equipped to see AI through a biblical and redemptive lens.
