GEO Nova Scotia presents GEO Forum 2024 – Nova Scotia’s first-ever, Digital Inclusion conference.

Online

GEO FORUM 2024 is a free, virtual conference happening on October 9, 2024, focused on Digital Inclusion in Nova Scotia – making sure everyone has the access, tools, and skills to be online. Hosted by GEO Nova Scotia, this event is all about bringing together people from government, industry, and community to talk about how we are closing the digital divide, together. The forum will feature a keynote, plenary session with an all-Scottish panel including the founders of the Mhor Collective who deliver Digital Champions programming across the country, and representatives from the Scottish Council of Voluntary Organizations (SCVO), which is responsible for a number of innovative digital inclusion initiatives like Connecting Scotland and Connecting to Care. The day will include breakout sessions on important topics like education, employment, and mental health. Attendees can also participate in a Digital Champions training session to gain tips, tools, and insights into helping others gain digital skills. Things wrap up in-person at the Halifax Convention Centre that evening with the Nova Scotia Digital Inclusion Awards which will be livestreamed. Whether you’re involved in policy, programming, service provision, or have another interest in digital inclusion in Nova Scotia, GEO FORUM 2024 is the place to be. It’s a great chance to learn, share ideas, and be part of the […]

BSides Halifax is proud to announce our 4th (becoming annual!) Halifax BSides conference! The event will once again be held IRL (in real life), but this time in the fall on Thursday, November 14th, 2024. It will be another great day filled with talks and the chance to spend time with fellow security enthusiasts, as well as some muffins, hopefully. For this go round we are partnerning with ShiftKey Labs and will be holding the event at Dalhousie's Computer Science building. As always, all are welcome, be they battle-hardened analysts, DC902 stalwarts, application security experts, or those new to the field. As we did last year, we are offering tickets for a minimum donation of $13.37 (we'll keep this price point as long as we possibly can). All proceeds will again go to Feed Nova Scotia, because grocery prices haven't gotten any better since last time.

We'll have some old favorites and a fresh batch of talks and activities to enjoy. Get your ticket before they're gone! (Agenda will be released when confirmed, though the event will […]
