Why Attend
Canadian privacy and AI rules run at both federal and provincial level, and that fragmentation is exactly what makes a single national gathering worth the trip. A CIO or head of AI running Canadian operations gets the regulatory picture in one place, plus the operational half of the problem — how peers are standing up AI governance programmes, handling health data across provinces, and drawing the line on workplace monitoring. With 130+ speakers over four days, two of them hands-on training, it is the cheapest way to get your privacy office, legal team and AI platform owners working from the same set of facts.
