1 Dear member of the Defence & Security industry sector, The Canadian Military Intelligence Association will be hosting the fourth annual Canadian Intelligence Conference (CANIC) on Tuesday October 25 th, 2016 at the Diefenbaker Building in Ottawa. CANIC is intended to provide a focused opportunity for discussion and debate on issues related to the Canadian intelligence enterprise, but also provide a venue for industry to showcase new solutions and technologies relevant to the domain. The program will include high-level keynote speakers such as the National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Defence, the Chief of the Defence Staff, and the Commander of Intelligence Command. We anticipate a sizeable audience from the Defence Intelligence community in Canada and abroad, and including intelligence professionals within various government departments and agencies. Participation from industry partners has been a key component to the overall success of the conference. Therefore, I invite you to participate in both the conference and as an exhibitor. Not only will it be an informative conference, but also an effective venue to showcase your company s products and services to an exclusive group of users and decision-makers.
