CANSEC 2023

Welcome to CANSEC 2023!

On behalf of the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), I am thrilled to welcome you to the 26th edition of the show.

As we open CANSEC, national and international security are top of mind here at home and among Canada’s close allies. Global geopolitical instability has brought the defence challenges we face into sharp focus, leading to reflection around investments linked to our Canadian Armed Forces, to the cybersecurity domain, to Ukraine, and in support of the defence of North America.

Canadian industry can and should play a pivotal role in Canada’s response to all these challenges, as evidenced by the world-leading equipment, technologies and services on display right here at CANSEC. Our theme for this year’s show – “Together on Every Front” – is designed as a call to action at a pivotal moment in history. It’s a reminder that the defence of our nation is our collective responsibility and that defending the front line of democracy takes many nations working together. I hope you will take the opportunity over these two days to forge and strengthen those connections within our community because, at its heart, that is what CANSEC is about.

We’ve made a number of changes to the show this year with the aim of improving the overall experience for delegates and exhibitors. That means it’s easier to get to CANSEC, and there are shorter wait times once you’re on-site, which all translates into more time for networking. Our CANSEC Labs area, devoted to emerging and disruptive technologies, has continued to grow as we welcome new entrants under our big tent. Don’t miss it!

As always, we’ll be looking for your feedback. It's our goal to continue to showcase the full breadth of Canadian defence and security goods, services and technology, and you can help us find creative ways to make it happen.

I hope to connect with as many of you as possible on the floor and at our evening reception, and I wish you all a fantastic show.
 

Sincerely,

Christyn Cianfarani
