Organized by CIS Events, the two-day summit is themed “Beyond Trust: Securing the AI Era” and brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to address how security, identity, and governance must evolve in an era of accelerating automation, AI adoption, and emerging technologies. The summit serves as a national platform for cross-sector collaboration and forward-looking policy, technical, and operational dialogue.

CIS 2026 is structured around five core pillars: cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection; digital identity and authentication frameworks; AI governance and security; quantum-safe technologies and future-ready resilience; and supply chain and third-party risk management. The event is designed for CISOs, security leaders, IT and identity professionals, risk and compliance practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and technology providers. Attendees can expect practical insights, strategic frameworks, and peer-level discussions aimed at strengthening organizational resilience, improving trust architectures, and aligning innovation with regulatory and operational realities.

Confirmed speakers include experts from leading organizations such as Bell Canada, Trend Micro Research, the University of Ottawa, Malvik Security, and national critical infrastructure research centers, covering topics from AI-driven threats and machine identity governance to predictive cyber defense and human-AI operational models. Featured speakers include Tyson Macaulay (NC CIPSeR), John Weigelt (Microsoft Canada), Gary Cooper (Government of Canada), Matt Davies (Hedgelake Digital Inc.), with additional keynote and panel sessions to be announced.
