CMDC

Media Leaders 💡Tomorrow, 200 of Canada’s media leaders will come together for an evening of connection, perspective, and leadership.

The CMDC Media Leaders Dinner is a moment to step back and engage in the conversations that matter most — leadership, trust, influence, and Canada’s role in a rapidly shifting global economy.

Because leadership today isn’t just about navigating change.
It’s about shaping what comes next — through dialogue, debate, and clear thinking.

We’re pleased to welcome Rudyard Griffiths, Chair of the Munk Debates and Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs, for a timely conversation on Global Power Shifts: How Emerging Geopolitical Risks Will Reshape Canada’s Future.

Thank you to our partner, , for supporting this important leadership gathering.

🇨🇦 Canada AI Policy Update — February 2026

A powerful step on the global stage: Canada’s Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon, and Germany’s Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernization, Karsten Wildberger, signed a joint declaration on AI at the Munich Security Conference—launching a new Sovereign Technology Alliance.

As CMDC President Shannon Lewis shared with Media in Canada: “With AI set to unlock a $230B growth opportunity for Canada, leadership in secure and sovereign AI is an investment in our economic future. The real opportunity now is ex*****on, putting Canadian innovators, businesses, and talent at the forefront, and strengthening local content and digital infrastructure at home.”
