Join Canada’s community of business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and risk management professionals for the DRI Canada Symposium 2026, taking place on Thursday, November 12, 2026 in Gatineau, Quebec.
Building on the success of our 2025 edition under the theme “One Country, One Network,” our 2026 program continues to bring together senior practitioners, government leaders and emerging professionals from across the country for a full day of expert-led sessions, interactive panels and candid conversations on the risks reshaping our profession — from cyber threats and supply chain disruption to climate-driven events, AI-enabled crises and evolving regulatory expectations.
The Symposium is a proudly bilingual event — un événement bilingue — with sessions, materials and networking offered in both English and French so participants can engage in the language they are most comfortable with.
Beyond the agenda, the Symposium is one of the best networking days of the year for Canadian resilience professionals: extended breaks, a hosted lunch, an evening reception and dedicated time make it easy to reconnect with colleagues and meet new ones. DRI-certified attendees earn Continuing Education Activity Points (CEAPs) toward credential maintenance, and a certificate of attendance is provided on request.
Early-bird pricing, certified professional discounts and group rates are available — register today to secure your seat at Canada’s premier gathering for business continuity and resilience.
The Symposium will be hosted at the Hilton Lac-Leamy, a four-diamond waterfront property just minutes from downtown Ottawa. The venue offers modern conference facilities, on-site dining and direct access to Casino du Lac-Leamy and the surrounding parkland.
A limited block of guest rooms has been reserved at a preferred rate for Symposium attendees. Reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the cutoff date.
