The Atlantic Security Conference (AtlSecCon) is a non-profit, annual, information security conference located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Established in 2011, our goal is to provide quality information security education and training at an affordable cost.
In Atlantic Canada, accelerating digital transformation is happening across the public sector – organizations are collaborating and involving industry partners in the design of processes by actively soliciting ideas, gathering feedback, and co-creating better public service solutions. When we work together with organizations and experts across a wide range of departments, we can turn ideas into real solutions and make them available for citizens. For the Atlantic public sector, this opens the door to reimagine a future in which all citizens have access to the benefits and opportunities of the digital economy. The Public Sector Innovation Show – Atlantic is a one-day event designed to provide inspiration, tools, and information for public sector leaders to drive overall growth in their departments and the region. This conference will give the community an opportunity to meet each other and have meaningful conversations with some of the leading innovative ‘doers’ in Atlantic Canada.
Climate is at the top of the international policy agenda and is creating massive risks and opportunities in the commercial sector. Understanding the changing ocean is critical to predicting the future of climate. The ocean stores hundreds of times the heat and 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere and takes up more carbon than all the rainforests combined. Some of the most pressing global issues at the frontier of the ocean-climate nexus are achieving net zero, developing sustainable food from the ocean, and protecting ocean biodiversity. Conference delegates from industry and policy will share their visions and challenges for sustainable development of these topics over the next decade. They will motivate the next frontier of ocean research by highlighting key questions to advance the field and outline their commitments to action to make an impact on solving some of the most pressing issues at the ocean-climate nexus. Ocean Frontier Institute researchers will join the dialog and present results from their studies that contribute directly to enabling the future of critical policy and industry decisions.

“Government Adoption of Cloud and Intelligent Automation: Driving Change Together!” Wednesday June 1, 2022 Scroll down to agenda… Though the economic case for government-wide adoption of Cloud was made more than a decade ago, progress in Canada remains uneven. In fact, despite considerable dialogue, adoption of Cloud remains at less than 10 per cent! TECHNATION put forward recommendations in 2015 and then again in 2019 calling on Government to accelerate Cloud adoption, prioritize in-house Cloud education and training, adopt a different operating model, and more. Unfortunately, Government remains hesitant to use leading-edge tech like Intelligent Automation to accelerate progress on delivering broader public policy objectives for Canada. That’s not to say that nothing was done; the Government of Canada did make some critical investments in digital government, which enabled it to respond quickly to citizens’ needs. But as we emerge from the pandemic, how do we ensure government continues – and accelerates – its modernization efforts to fully embrace Cloud and Intelligent Automation to deliver modern services while keeping Canadians’ information safe and secure? To help drive change, TECHNATION will bring key government leaders and industry together to address government cloud / IA / Ai adoption and its obstacles and […]

Roadmap to a Successful Digital Transformation As service delivery moves further into the virtual realm, a strong digital transformation strategy is paramount for all levels of government. Identifying the needs of citizens, gaining trust through reliable and secure services, and striking the right balance between innovation and practicality is essential to success and progress. Designing digital services which are accessible, inclusive and citizen-centric is an absolute must. By committing to inclusive and innovative design, the public sector can create exceptional products and services. To achieve this, internal buy-in and a culture that is receptive to change is paramount. Embracing a digital mindset and adopting the technologies to facilitate change is key to success. To optimize your digital transformation journey, Digital Government & CX Roadshow 2022 will bring together public sector leaders to explore the most efficient strategies to help you gain internal buy-in and develop a roadmap for your digital transformation. This series will head to 5 Canadian cities, from coast to coast, to highlight emerging trends, future opportunities, and the barriers to successful digital transformation.
