Executive Session for Public-Sector Leaders

April 13, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Queen’s Park, Toronto
In-Person | Invite Only

Artificial intelligence is accelerating the evolution of cyber threats. Adversaries are now using AI to automate attacks, identify vulnerabilities faster, and scale operations across complex digital environments.

For governments and public institutions responsible for critical infrastructure, citizen data, and essential services, the implications are significant.

This executive session brings together senior government leaders, cybersecurity experts, and technology decision-makers to examine how the threat landscape is changing—and how public-sector organizations must adapt their defenses. The discussion will focus on AI-enabled cyber threats, securing AI systems themselves, and improving unified risk visibility across complex government technology environments, with practical perspectives on strengthening institutional resilience.

Featuring experts from Deloitte and SecIntelligence-AI and hosted by Connecting GTA this executive forum is designed to deliver practical, forward-looking insight.
