Tech Education for Adults

Cyber Summit
2026

Cyber Summit 2026 will be back in Banff, November 3-5, 2026.

The current economic and geopolitical landscape has many Canadians looking inward and exploring new opportunities to move forward in a productive way, together. Does this period in history present a uniquely Canadian opportunity? Are there initiatives that we could be collaborating on to advance our public, education and research sectors?

Cyber Summit 2025, brought together leaders, innovators and change-makers from these sectors to explore how shared infrastructure and cross-sector conversations can position Canada to lead with resilience. From sovereign technology to collaborative cybersecurity, we asked how we can seize this moment—not just to adapt, but to thrive.
