What's Canada's next move? Security and sovereignty in focus at the Micro Summit

Sold out

From trade tensions and defence commitments to the rapid rise of AI, Canada’s relationships with the U.S. and many other countries are changing fast – and the ripple effects will reshape our security and sovereignty for decades to come.   

Join us at the Queen’s Micro Summit in November, where Queen’s researchers will unpack what this moment means for Canada’s future and how we navigate what’s next.

  • A deeper understanding of global trade and foreign policy tensions
  • Insights into how defence and alliance politics are evolving
  • A look at Canada’s push for digital sovereignty and how Queen’s is playing a key role
  • New connections with Queen’s alumni and leaders curious about Canada’s role in a rapidly changing world
