Join us for the Data, Mathematical, and Computational Sciences (DMC) Fair on April 28, 2026. This event will feature keynote speaker Eric Thorsen, entrepreneur, technologist, and executive coach with over 30 years of experience at the intersection of business and technology.

The event will also feature poster presentations from our students’ Senior Capstone projects and Masters Thesis, and is preceded by the DMC Community College Day (see below).

Keynote Speaker: Eric Thorsen

AI, Careers & Your Future: Navigating the New Landscape

Eric Thorsen is a seasoned entrepreneur, technologist, and executive coach with over 30 years of experience at the intersection of business and technology. He founded Thortech, a software consulting firm whose data analytics platform powered live U.S. election coverage for major media networks for over two decades.

Today, Eric is the CEO and cofounder of Clarion Collective AI, helping business leaders turn AI uncertainty into a competitive edge. As a certified executive coach and father of a college-bound student interested in Data Science and Computer Science, Eric brings a unique perspective on how AI is transforming careers — and what it means for students entering the workforce.

His talk will explore:

• How AI is genuinely changing the job market (and how it isn’t)
• What employers are really looking for in new graduates
• Practical strategies for students navigating an AI-driven world
• Why the future is brighter than the headlines suggest

The talk will conclude with a Q&A session.
