I'm at the Ski and Snowboard Conference, and it's absolutely fantastic. What makes this event so unique is its intimate setup—with a smaller number of vendors and participants, you really have the chance to network, connect, and build meaningful relationships. It’s truly a worthwhile investment of your time and resources. Thank you!
Francois Guay

Canadian Cybersecurity Network
If you're looking for a great place to network and connect with people, the SSCC is the perfect opportunity. This year’s event has been especially impressive, offering plenty of chances to engage with a diverse group of vendors and companies. It’s not just about vendor talks—you’ll stay engaged and, most importantly, have fun!

This event is absolutely amazing. Instead of just sitting in a conference room listening to various vendors and speakers, we get to mingle with each other and even stay active. Skiing not only helps us connect but also keeps us away from our devices for a while. Thank you for inviting us, and see you next year!
