FALL SPEAKER SERIES - Tuesday, September 30, 2025, 2:00 pm Atlantic

Join us for Corey Tucker's presentation on "Digital Impact Assessment Technology: Considerations for projects thinking of adopting its use"

The Atlantic Canada Association for Impact Assessment (ACAIA) is pleased to host a presentation by Corey Tucker.

Presentation Overview

The topic of digital impact assessment (IA) technologies and practices has become prevalent for IA professionals when considering how to improve the current state of the practice and how to best support projects. While there is a considerable amount of information to its potential benefits, the demonstrated benefits and challenges to projects and IA practitioners who have adopted its use are not as prevalent. This presentation will review the components used, which include those for:

• User management, authentication & security

• Information collection & management

• Reporting

• Data visualization & analysis

The benefits to the projects, challenges with respect to their implementation and barriers to their use by IA professionals, clients/proponents, regulators and stakeholders will be presented in the context of several IA related projects completed by ICI Innovations and its partners within Atlantic Canada and the eastern United States in the past two years.
