DEPLOY Dual-Use Summit (Nov 5-ONLY) Keynote Stage

This isn’t a conversation about how Canada pays for defence — it’s a conversation about where Canada is headed. Founder Eliot Pence sits down with a leading voice shaping Canada’s AI and national security landscape for a forward-looking exchange on the convergence reshaping national security: how AI is changing what modern defence and intelligence actually look like, where Canada’s real edge is (and isn’t), and what it will take for the country to compete for relevance in a race defined by speed, not size. A wide-lens, big-picture conversation between two people thinking past today’s headlines toward what comes next — for defence, for intelligence, and for the technology tying them together.
