The Couchiching Conference, co-hosted by the Canadian International Council (CIC) and the Aga Khan Museum, aims to foster an inclusive dialogue on the evolving role of diplomacy on the international stage. This event will provide a platform for citizens, journalists, academics, and students to engage in meaningful discussions on international affairs, reflecting our shared mission to give Canadians a voice in global matters.

Canada is entering a period defined by geopolitical uncertainty, technological disruption, and shifting alliances. This year’s Couchiching Conference will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and global thinkers to explore the choices shaping Canada’s role in the world.

Through keynote addresses, expert panels, and interactive conversations, participants will engage with fresh ideas, diverse perspectives, and practical solutions to the foreign policy, economic, and technological challenges defining Canada’s role in a rapidly changing world.
