Story Institute's President & CEO, Michael Coleman, is a guest speaker tonight at the SFU Beedie School of Business.

We're booked for a sold out crowd with a host of industry experts discussing the current environment affects of AI and the opportunities and risks involved in multiple facets.

Can AI generate content?
Absolutely.

Can it replace human creativity, storytelling, and imagination?
That's a much more interesting conversation.

Join us in welcoming Michael Coleman as a panellist at the GBSA Business Forum 2026.

Michael is an award-winning actor, director, writer, educator, and the President & CEO of Story Institute and Rebel West Pictures.

His work spans some of the most recognized productions in film, television, and animation, including Once Upon a Time, Supernatural, Dragon Ball Z, X-Men: Evolution, and many others.

But what makes Michael's perspective especially valuable right now is his work developing the next generation of storytellers, creators, and creative leaders.

As AI rapidly changes how content is created, distributed, and consumed, industries around the world are asking important questions:
· What role will human creativity play in the future?
· How do we balance technology with authentic storytelling?
· What skills will creators need to stay relevant?

As one of Canada's leading creative educators, Michael brings a unique perspective that extends far beyond entertainment. His insights are relevant to marketers, entrepreneurs, business leaders, innovators, and anyone navigating an increasingly AI-shaped world.

Story Institute was recently recognized by Backstage Magazine as one of Canada's top acting schools and one of Hollywood North's hidden gems.

If you're curious about the intersection of creativity, technology, leadership, and the future of work, this is a conversation worth joining.
