Events

The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

International Disorder: Building Bridges in a Fragmented World
October 7, 2026 | 8:30am – 7:00pm ET
Aga Khan Museum
77 Wynford Drive, Toronto, ON
As alliances shift, technology reshapes power, and economic relationships become increasingly tied to national security, Canada faces critical choices about its role in the world. Building on the conversations begun at CIC Couchiching Victoria, this conference will bring together leaders from government, business, academia, and civil society to explore how Canada can build stronger coalitions, foster innovation, and strengthen its economic resilience in an era of international disorder. Through practical, forward-looking discussions, the conference aims to generate ideas that will help shape Canadian foreign policy and public debate.See all conference information HERE.
