2026 Program
INCYBER Forum Canada 2026 will bring together leaders from government, defence, law enforcement, intelligence agencies, critical infrastructure, industry, academia, and the international cybersecurity community to explore the issues shaping our digital future.
Below is a preview of some of the strategic conversations currently being developed for the program. These discussions will be complemented by keynote presentations, featured interviews, workshops and demos, which will be announced in the coming months. Together, they reflect many of the most pressing challenges—and opportunities—facing Canada and its international partners.
We’re very grateful to our Advisory Board for their ongoing support, and to the many organizations and leaders who are participating and helping shape the program. Their willingness to share practical experience and diverse perspectives is what makes these strategic conversations possible.
The future will be shaped by the conversations we have today.
