About this event
Cybersecurity in Canada is entering a decisive period. New threats, tighter expectations, and a rapidly changing technology landscape are pushing leaders to rethink how security strategy, business resilience, and national opportunity fit together. This in-person Anchoram Canada Roundtable is designed for people who want a sharper view of where cyber in Canada is headed and who want to discuss it with others facing the same questions. Expect a focused, high-value conversation with room for perspective, debate, and meaningful connections. About the Event The Future of Cyber in Canada - Anchoram Canada Roundtable is a live, in-person gathering built around discussion rather than passive listening. The roundtable format matters: this is not just a sequence of presentations, but a space for informed conversation on the forces shaping Canada’s cyber future. The event brings together a community of professionals interested in cybersecurity, business risk, technology, and the broader Canadian ecosystem. Whether your lens is operational, strategic, commercial, or community-focused, the goal is to create a room where different viewpoints can surface and challenge each other constructively. Because this is a roundtable, the value comes from the mix of people in the room as much as the topic itself. You can expect a setting that supports thoughtful dialogue, peer exchange, and relationship-building with others who care about where cyber is going next in Canada. What to Expect The morning format is well suited to a productive, focused conversation. Starting at 9:30 AM EDT, the event is positioned as a working session rather than a late-day social add-on, which means attendees can come ready to engage with clear attention and practical questions. You should expect a mix of: Structured roundtable discussion on the future of cybersecurity in Canada Peer perspectives from people working across adjacent roles, sectors, and priorities Networking and community-building with others who are actively engaged in the space Open conversation that allows for nuance, disagreement, and practical insight rather than surface-level talking points Rather than promising a rigid agenda that may not fit the nature of a roundtable, what this event clearly offers is a format centered on exchange. That makes it especially useful if you value hearing how others are interpreting the same market pressures, policy questions, operational risks, and growth opportunities. There is also a strong community element here. The tags around community, networking, meetup, and social suggest that this is meant to be approachable and relational, not overly formal or closed off. You can come prepared to contribute seriously while still having genuine conversations with people you may want to stay connected with afterward. Why Attend If you work anywhere near cybersecurity, this conversation matters because Canada’s cyber landscape is not standing still. Strategy is evolving, risks are compounding, and expectations around preparedness, trust, and resilience are rising across organizations of every kind. Attending gives you the chance to step out of day-to-day execution and compare notes with others who are also thinking about what comes next. That can help you pressure-test your assumptions, sharpen your sense of priority, and identify where your own organization or work may need to adapt. You may leave with value in several forms: A clearer picture of emerging themes affecting cyber in Canada Better language for internal conversations about risk, investment, and direction Fresh perspectives from peers who are tackling similar challenges in different contexts New relationships that can lead to future collaboration, referrals, or ongoing exchange For some attendees, the biggest benefit will be insight. For others, it will be access to a room of thoughtful people. In practice, strong events like this usually deliver both: useful ideas you can act on, and a stronger network of people you can call on after the event. Practical Details This event is in person, which makes a difference for the kind of dialogue and networking a roundtable is meant to create. Face-to-face conversation tends to produce more candid exchange, better follow-up discussions, and more natural introductions than a virtual format can offer. The roundtable takes place on Tuesday, June 24 at 9:30 AM EDT. Since it is scheduled in the morning, it is worth planning to arrive a little early so you can settle in, meet a few people before the discussion begins, and make the most of the networking aspect from the start. A few useful ways to prepare: Come ready to discuss the future of cybersecurity in Canada from your own vantage point Bring a few current questions or challenges you are seeing in your work or sector Be prepared to listen as actively as you speak; the best roundtables depend on both Leave room in your schedule afterward in case conversations continue beyond the formal session If you are looking for a polished but grounded way to connect with others in the Canadian cyber space, this is the kind of event that can be worth your morning. It offers focused discussion, practical relevance, and the chance to be in the room while important conversations about Canada’s cyber future are taking shape.
