Ross Pambrun, a visionary futurist and highly sought-after professional speaker has graced prestigious platforms like the Wall Street Journal: Future of Everything conference in New York City. Ross presents to and interviews with the global tech community from small organizations to the federal levels of government. He believes with the right knowledge and determination, any organization can engage and join the Artificial Intelligence sphere. His teachings on Artificial Intelligence are easy to understand and his passion shines through in every conversation.

A continuous and life-long learner, Ross Pambrun has completed studies at MIT, Harvard, Alan Turing Institute, University of Alberta, Mount Royal College, and SANS Institute. He blends Artificial Intelligence – machine learning and cybersecurity to reshape the application of ideas around these foundational technologies. He teaches that alongside the growth of Artificial Intelligence, monitoring the risks of bias and fairness, ideas and pathways need to be adaptable and above all safe for the future of business and cultural impact.

Ross Pambrun started his career as a former registered nurse in advanced critical care. Using the experience he had gained and seeing areas in healthcare for improvement, Ross became a successful entrepreneur in the technology-based health and safety industry and ultimately sold his company to a national provider.

Ross Pambrun proudly wears medals of service from the Province of Alberta and the City of Calgary; these honoured symbols adorn his blazer, bestowed upon him for his 24 years of service to the City of Calgary Fire Department. Ross a Fire Captain has served as Emeritus Chief Science Officer for 21 years on the board of directors of the Calgary Fire Department Burn Treatment Society. Seeing the effects of fire damage and environmental risk affecting communities hampered by climate change, Ross set out to make global change with ‘The Memphis Group – Artificial Intelligence designed Earth protection strategies and solutions.

The Memphis Group has received awards for their innovative earth protection strategies. Collecting geographical data using multi data sourced imagery such as satellite and drone remote sensing, The Memphis Group utilizes Artificial Intelligence to comb large amounts of data and recognize environmental and fire specific hazards. Ross’s knowledge of firefighting and his education in Artificial Intelligence merged to form an interdisciplinary forward-thinking company. By developing industry leaders in mitigating risk, Ross Pambrun gained the skills to foster corporate partnerships and a knack for facilitating actionable conversation. They are also working with global partners to assist in species translocation to put indigenous animals back into historic habitats. This works to protect the natural environment and build on trade and tourism for cultural protection and national environmental strategies. The Memphis Group has assisted environmentalists, First Nation communities, city planners, and sustainable developers in loss of life, loss of land, and insurance projections. A new priority for Ross is to work with agencies for the protection of cultural language through innovative tools that harness the power of emerging technically savvy, teaching methods. Ensuring that the ownership of cultural knowledge is protected by the provider is a foremost priority for Ross and groups navigating technological growth.

Beyond his professional endeavours, Ross Pambrun is an Indigenous Métis business leader and believes in giving back to his community. He has hosted, “The Squeaky Wheel,” video podcast series that fostered dialogue with citizens, celebrities, icons, and Indigenous leaders. An actor, musician, emcee and entertainer, Ross also leads a team of gold hunters filming season 2 on the nationally broadcast TV show, ‘Red River Gold,’ coming out in spring of 2025.

As a professional speaker, he captivates audiences with his visionary outlook and understanding of emerging technologies. His presentations, blending scientific expertise with practical insights, inspire individuals and organizations to embrace innovation and navigate the complexities of the future. His ability to convey complex ideas in a relatable manner makes Ross Pambrun a sought-after speaker for conferences, corporate events, and industry forums. His ability to connect with everyone in the room is often why Ross is the first choice to emcee or moderate high level conversations.

His presentations remain humble and down to earth, even when he is talking about Artificial Intelligence, climate-change, cybersecurity, satellites or space. Ross Pambrun brings his cultural journey, insights and experience to every event, whether discussing the future of Artificial Intelligence or providing a compass for the ever-changing human landscape.
