ABOUT OUR LAST MEETING


  We enjoyed a fun, adventured filled talk full of examples given by Luigi Calabrese, President of Frontier Networks Inc., a seasoned leader in the tech industry.

With a focus on advocating for older adults, Luigi collaborates closely with law enforcement agencies in Canada and the USA, including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the RCMP, and the Department of Homeland Security, to combat fraud and vendor abuse targeting seniors.

As a sought-after speaker, Luigi is renowned for his ability to demystify technology and engage audiences with humour and relevant examples. Luigi is a passionate advocate for older adults, tirelessly working to promote pricing fairness and advocate for reforms to protect older adults from exploitation and abuse.

In an era where technology is meant to simplify our lives but often complicates them, Luigi Calabrese discussed the latest trends in mobile devices, sensors, and wearables, focusing on enabling seniors to age comfortably at home.

He also addressed the pressing issues of data privacy threats, hacking, and navigating the complexities of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) schemes to ensure seniors stay safe and empowered digitally.
