Sunco Connect – Vancouver

Event Overview

Sunco Connect returns to Vancouver, bringing together business owners, leaders, and IT teams for an afternoon built around the technology decisions that matter the most right now. The event is designed to foster open conversation and shared learning among the people responsible for keeping their organizations connected, secure, and prepared for what comes next.

The day opens with a keynote on cyber incident response, covering how leadership navigates a breach, communicates through a crisis, and builds toward recovery.

From there, the agenda covers three areas actively shaping how organizations operate today. One session will examine cybersecurity and compliance, looking at how the threat landscape is evolving and what it takes to build resilience that holds up under pressure. Another will explore cloud, connectivity, and what it means to run a business that depends on always-on infrastructure. A third will take a grounded look at AI and automation, moving past the noise to focus on where it creates genuine productivity gains and where organizations need to stay cautious.

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how other organizations are navigating these shifts and a stronger foundation for the technology decisions ahead.

Why Attend?

  • A leadership-level view of cyber incident response, crisis communication, and recovery readiness
  • A deeper understanding of how cybersecurity and compliance are evolving and what resilience looks like beyond the basics
  • Perspective on cloud and connectivity strategies for organizations that cannot afford downtime
  • Insight into how AI and automation are moving from concept to operational impact
  • Time to connect with peers and technology leaders from across the region

Who Should Attend?

Sunco Connect Vancouver is designed for business owners, leaders, and IT teams who are responsible for guiding technology decisions and supporting the day-to-day operations of their organizations.

Join others from across British Columbia who are taking time to step back and think seriously about what the next phase of growth and change looks like for their teams.
