Summit Registration | 2026
INVITATION ONLY WORKSHOP: This collaborative workshop is hosted by the Deparment of National Defence, Natural Resources Canada, The Canadian Nuclear Labs, Carleton University and the National Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection, Security and Resilience.
Why This Forum Matters
Canada faces an increasingly complex operating environment characterized by:
- Evolving geopolitical uncertainty
- Cyber and physical threats
- Climate-related disasters
- Supply chain vulnerabilities
- Infrastructure interdependencies
- Arctic and sovereignty challenges
- Rapid technological change
Addressing these challenges requires more than awareness. It requires trusted relationships, informed leadership, and coordinated action across sectors, domains and jurisdictions. This forum provides a unique opportunity to bring together those responsible for protecting and strengthening Canada’s resilience.
Summit Theme
From Fragmented Complexity to Collective Resilience
Modern threats do not respect organizational, sectoral, domain or jurisdictional boundaries. This conference explores how Canada can better connect the domains of:
- National Security
- Critical Infrastructure
- Emergency Management and Preparedness
- Defence
Through collaborative dialogue and evidence-based insights, participants will examine opportunities to reduce fragmentation, improve coordination, and strengthen resilience outcomes. Collaboration with intention and finding the right projects with the right partners at the right time.
