As part of SpaceBound 2025, the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and Space Canada will co-host the SpaceBound 2025 Dialogue Dinner, an invitation-only gathering that convenes senior figures from government, industry and research for an evening of discussion and exchange.

The program will feature a panel on Canada’s evolving role at the intersection of defence, emerging technologies, policy and international cooperation. Following the discussion, guests will enjoy a seated dinner designed to encourage thoughtful conversation, new connections and the sharing of ideas across Canada’s space community.
