Expert Briefing Series
The Expert Briefing Series (EBS) features top Canadian and international defence and security experts for a Defence Team and Government of Canada audience. Through virtual webinars and roundtable discussions, defence and security practitioners engage in rich conversations with leading experts and diverse thinkers.
This flexible tool allows the DND to respond to an evolving security environment by accessing a variety of defence and security perspectives. These engagements help DND/CAF and its whole-of-government partners develop and maintain in-depth and nuanced knowledge and perspectives on key issues.
