Cyber Summit – A gathering of Western Canada's public, education and start-up technology leaders.

This year's Summit will be returning to Banff, Alberta, taking place at the Banff Park Lodge. Occurring November 9-10, with workshops the afternoon of November 8, this hybrid event will allow you to join in-person, or stream online if you are unable to attend.

With this year's Summit taking place 20 months after COVID-19 hit North America, it seems fitting to look at how our ecosystem is moving to the "new normal".

We know this pandemic has led to a rapid acceleration of the use of digital technologies for remote learning and working. Combined with the advances in automation, and AI, the ways we interact with each other and our economy are changing. As we return to a post-pandemic world, it will be one that is forever changed. The question now is: what practices will be different, what will stay the same, and how will our lives improve as we adapt to the "new normal"?

Healthy & Safety of Attendees

The health and safety of our attendees, speakers, and staff are top of mind as we plan the upcoming Cyber Summit. While it is likely the majority of Canadians will be vaccinated by November, we know we can’t rely solely on vaccines to protect all participants. The Summit organizers are working diligently with our venue host to ensure we not only meet all health guidelines, but we exceed them.
