Beyond the Status Quo: New Ways of Delivering Public Safety Technology

Every two years, the CACP Information & Communications Technology (ICT) Committee brings together the country’s top public safety technology leaders to connect, collaborate, and chart the path forward. More than just a conference, this summit is a catalyst for bold ideas, national alignment, and shared progress.

Join us as we explore what’s next in AI, digital trust, cybersecurity, data-driven leadership, and interagency collaboration. Discover real-world solutions, tested strategies, and emerging technologies that are reshaping the way public safety is delivered across Canada.

With a focus on both transformation and sustainability, this year’s theme is all about balancing innovation with impact. You’ll leave with new connections, inspiring ideas, practical toolkits, and a renewed sense of purpose—ready to lead change in a world of complex risks and limited resources.

Key Focus Areas:

• Embracing innovation and intentional change while building public trust through transparency and responsible adoption
• Advancing interoperability by fostering cross-disciplinary and cross-jurisdictional collaboration
• Highlighting real-world examples that  break down silos and accelerate progress
• Addressing the critical need for cyber resilience and the tools required to safeguard public safety infrastructure
• Equipping senior leaders to guide ethical, inclusive, and effective digital transformation
