CISO Public Sector Summit 2018 - Canada | CDM Media | 22 April 2018 | Fairmont Chateau Laurier, 1 Rideau St, Ottawa, ON K1N 8S7, Canada

As the public sector begins to experience change well underway in the private sector, the roles of CISOs and government IT security executives will become more complex, more integrated and closer to the agency mission than ever before. Public Sector IT is rapidly adapting to growing trends in mobility, big data and other key components of smart government, which inevitably creates core challenges in the form of IT infrastructure inefficiencies, cybersecurity concerns, and constricted budgets. In the coming years, government at the municipal, provincial, and federal level will seek to employ strategic, pointed initiatives for more efficient, effective and collaborative operations, which ultimately translates to better overall performance.

The CISO Public Sector Summit will bring together leading CISOs and government IT security executives from across Canada to confront and overcome current industry issues. This premier event will explore critical topics and trends currently impacting agencies in the industry.

This exclusive, high-level event will enable attending executives to network with peers and learn from each others experiences through engaging educational sessions conducted in a comfortable, yet focused business environment. The event agenda offers opportunities for critical exchanges through visionary Keynote Presentations, Executive Think Tanks, Thought Leadership workshops, Analyst Q&As and much more. Attendees will meet one-on-one with carefully selected solution providers throughout the event to learn about critical products and services capable of solving organizational challenges.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to get government IT issues out on the table, make your voice heard and collaborate with peers on real solutions for your agency.
