This year’s theme focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in military and defence contexts. We seek to explore how inclusive leadership, intersectionality, unconscious bias, and innovative approaches to measuring DEI can drive cultural transformation and improve decision making in defence and security.
The conference aims to foster bold ideas and meaningful discussions that contribute to building an inclusive, innovative, and effective military culture aligned with the Department of National Defence (DND) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) goals.

The morning keynote address will be delivered by Senator Rebecca Patterson.
