It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of my colleagues on Ottawa City Council, to welcome all those participating in the Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2025, hosted by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), taking place October 30th in Canada’s capital on unceded Anishinabe Algonquin territory.

This event serves as a valuable forum for government decision-makers and procurement representatives, along with manufacturers and other stakeholders in the defence and security industries to network, learn more about current and future government project requirements and procurement opportunities, as well as to share insights on leading-edge technology, products and services to protect cyber and digital infrastructure.

As Head of Council, I want to acknowledge CADSI, in addition to the guest speakers, exhibitors and sponsors for dedicating time, efforts, expertise, services and resources to the successful organization of this important meeting.

Allow me to offer my best wishes to everyone in attendance for a productive and rewarding gathering, as well as to the visitors for an enjoyable stay in Ottawa.

Sincerely,

J’ai l’immense plaisir de souhaiter la bienvenue, au nom de mes collègues du Conseil municipal d’Ottawa, à l’ensemble des personnes participant à la conférence Cyber and Digital Outlooks 2025, organisée par l’Association des industries canadiennes de défense et de sécurité (AICDS), qui se tiendra le 30 octobre dans la capitale du Canada sur le territoire non cédé de la Nation Anishinabe Algonquine.

Cet événement est une excellente occasion pour les décideurs et les représentants en approvisionnement du gouvernement et pour les fabricants et les autres intervenants des industries de la défense et de la sécurité de réseauter, d’en apprendre davantage sur les exigences actuelles et futures des projets et les possibilités d’approvisionnement du gouvernement et d’échanger des idées sur les technologies, les produits et les services de pointe visant à protéger les cyberinfrastructures et les infrastructures numériques.

En tant que chef du Conseil, je tiens à remercier l’AICDS, les conférenciers principaux, les exposants et les commanditaires pour le temps, les efforts, l’expertise, les services et les ressources qu’ils ont consacrés à l’organisation de cette rencontre importante afin d’en assurer le succès.

Permettez-moi de souhaiter à toutes les personnes présentes une rencontre productive et enrichissante et aux visiteurs un séjour agréable à Ottawa.

Cordialement,

A Message from Ottawa Tourism

On behalf of Ottawa Tourism, we extend you a warm welcome to our beautiful city. Ottawa is incredibly  proud to host the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) - Cyber and Digital  Outlooks 2025 event

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, wideopen green spaces and parks, and delivers a truly unique Canadian experience. Our national museums  devoted to science, technology, aerospace, and more, offer creative, ground breaking, and state-of-the-art  exhibitions, as well as modern convention venues, offering a unique and inspiring meeting experience to  its 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!

Sincerely,

Michael Crockatt

Meeting in Ottawa – Come early, stay late!

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.
