It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of Members of Ottawa City Council, to welcome all those participating in Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2026, hosted by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), and taking place October 1st at the Rogers Centre Ottawa on unceded Anishinabe Algonquin territory.
Convening under the theme “Engaging Canada’s Cyber and Digital Buyers”, this event serves as a premier forum for senior representatives from the Department of National Defence, Shared Services Canada, and Communications Security Establishment Canada to outline Canada’s defence and national security cyber priorities, including investment and policy directions, which will shape Canada’s digital infrastructure, data and networks. Participating SMEs, OEMs, and other industry stakeholders will gain important insights and benefit from valuable networking opportunities with key policy and procurement officials.
Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2026 will garner high interest from the numerous local high-tech, defence, aerospace and security firms which contribute to the National Capital Region’s reputation as an important Canadian centre for defence innovation.Allow me to offer my best wishes to everyone in attendance for a productive and rewarding event, as well as to the visitors for an enjoyable stay in Ottawa.
Sincerely,
J’ai le grand plaisir, au nom des membres du Conseil municipal d’Ottawa, de souhaiter la bienvenue à tous les participants à la conférence Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2026, organisée par l’Association des industries canadiennes de défense et de sécurité (AICDS), qui aura lieu le 1er octobre au Centre Rogers Ottawa, sur le territoire non cédé de la Nation Anishinabe Algonquine.
Cet événement, dont le thème est « Engaging Canada’s Cyber and Digital Buyers » (Mobiliser les acheteurs canadiens de
technologies cybernétiques et numériques), constitue un forum de premier plan où les hauts représentants du ministère de la Défense nationale, de Services partagés Canada et du Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications Canada pourront présenter les priorités du Canada en matière de cyberdéfense et de cybersécurité nationales, notamment les orientations en matière d’investissement et de politique, qui influeront sur l’infrastructure numérique, les données et les réseaux du pays. Les PME, les fabricants d’équipement d’origine et les autres intervenants du secteur qui y participeront pourront acquérir des
connaissances importantes et bénéficieront de précieuses occasions de réseautage avec des représentants clés des domaines de la politique et de l’approvisionnement.
La conférence Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2026 suscitera un vif intérêt auprès des nombreuses entreprises locales des secteurs de la haute technologie, de la défense, de l’aérospatiale et de la sécurité, qui contribuent à la réputation de la région de la capitale nationale en tant que pôle important de l’innovation en matière de défense au Canada.
Permettez-moi de souhaiter à toutes les personnes présentes une rencontre productive et enrichissante, et aux visiteurs, un séjour agréable à Ottawa.
Cordialement,

On behalf of Ottawa Tourism, we extend you a warm welcome to our beautiful city. Ottawa is incredibly proud to host Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2026 by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI).
Located on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe nation, Ottawa offers a dynamic cultural milieu that embraces the Indigenous heritage of this land. As the capital of a bilingual country, and on the border of the province of Québec, you’ll hear both English and French (and a multitude of other languages) on our streets. The city features a thriving cultural scene, a wealth of historic landmarks, wide -open green spaces and parks, and delivers a truly unique Canadian experience. Our national museums, devoted to science, technology, aerospace, and more, offer creative, groundbreaking, and state-of-the-art exhibitions, as well as modern convention venues, offering a unique and inspiring meeting experience for delegates. Add all of that to its clean, green, and natural setting, and you’ve got a capital that attracts millions of visitors every year.
When your business is done, we encourage you to explore some of the many attractions of the area. A pedestrian-friendly downtown core that is home to many remarkable hotels allows for delegates to attend an event and to then take in the city’s many sights with ease. From beautiful museums to outdoor adventure in any season, to award-winning restaurants and high-end shopping, you can be sure that there is plenty for everyone to see and do.
To find out what’s on while you’re here visit www.ottawatourism.ca and be sure to share your experiences with us on social media using the hashtag #MyOttawa. We hope that your time in Ottawa is productive and fulfilling.
Enjoy your visit to Ottawa, and we sincerely hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon!

Centrally located with excellent air and transportation links, Ottawa is a premier Canadian meeting and convention destination any time of the year. It is an impressive yet intimate G8 capital, home to famous landmarks, cultural attractions and celebrations, rich in natural beauty and blessed with a relaxed urban rhythm. Adding unique Ottawa activities for delegates to your agenda is easy and very flexible based on the season. Delegates themselves tend to arrive here early, stay after their event, and bring along their spouses to enjoy everything Canada’s Capital has to offer – helping your event attract more delegates in the process.
