Sunco Connect – Ontario

Sunco Connect Ontario - 2026
Sunco Connect Ontario 2026

Event Overview

Sunco Connect returns to Ontario this September with events in Toronto and, for the first time, Ottawa. The day brings together business owners, leaders, and IT teams who are facing many of the same technology decisions. AI is moving from experimentation into everyday operations. Workforces continue to span offices, homes, and remote locations. Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and many organizations are asking where compliance ends and meaningful protection begins.

Each session is designed to help attendees make sense of these changes and understand what deserves attention now. Conversations throughout the day focus on strategies that organizations can apply immediately, including how to prepare for and respond when a cyber incident occurs.

The day begins with a keynote from Matt Roth, a partner at Sovereign Advisory, who advises organizations on crisis communications and cybersecurity issues management. His session explores what happens after a breach, how leadership communicates through uncertainty, and what it takes to guide an organization back to stability.

Cybersecurity and compliance is one of the day’s key discussions, examining the gap that often exists between meeting regulatory requirements and building a stronger security posture. Cloud and connectivity sessions look at the infrastructure organizations need to support employees across multiple locations while maintaining performance and reliability. AI and automation sessions explore where these technologies are already improving daily work, where they deliver the greatest value, and where thoughtful oversight remains essential.

Why Attend?

  • A look at how leadership handles a breach, from the first hour through recovery
  • Where cybersecurity and compliance diverge, and what closing that gap takes
  • What communication and infrastructure need to look like for teams working across locations
  • Where AI is already changing daily work, and where it still needs oversight
  • Time with peers and technology leaders from across Ontario

Who Should Attend?

Sunco Connect Ontario is built for business owners, leaders, and IT teams responsible for the technology decisions behind their organization’s daily operations.

Join other leaders from across Ontario who are working through the same questions about where their technology stands and where it needs to go next.
