Cyber Summit 2021

With this year’s Summit taking place 20 months after COVID-19 hit North America, it seems fitting to look at how our ecosystem is moving to the "new normal".

We know this pandemic has led to a rapid acceleration of the use of digital technologies for remote learning and working. Combined with the advances in automation, and AI, the ways we interact with each other and our economy are changing. As we return to a post-pandemic world, it will be one that is forever changed. The question now is: what practices will be different, what will stay the same, and how will our lives improve as we adapt to the "new normal"?
