January 20, 2026 (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM) (PST)

This unsponsored Vancouver‑based forum convenes senior IT and technology leaders operating under a shared regional and regulatory context to examine contemporary challenges and opportunities.
Through a structured, highly interactive working session, participants will exchange practical experience, validate approaches, and explore strategically important topics in today’s complex technology landscape.
