Halifax is Canada's defence capital, bringing together industry leaders, military personnel, researchers, and innovators to advance conversations around defence, security, and cybersecurity. Through events like DEFSEC Atlantic, the Halifax Chamber of Commerce Fall Dinner, and ATLSECCON, the Halifax Convention Centre helps foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and new opportunities that strengthen the sector and support future growth. As a leading destination for meetings and conventions, Halifax continues to connect people, ideas, and industries that are helping shape Canada's defence future.
