highlighted the critical role Canada's defence sector plays in innovation, readiness and collaboration. With more than 21,000 attendees, international delegations from around the world and keynote addresses from leaders including Mark Carney and David McGuinty, this year's event was a powerful reminder that strong partnerships are essential to addressing today's complex security challenges.
Members of Esri Canada's Defence Team team were proud to be part of the conversation, connecting with customers, partners and industry leaders to explore how location intelligence supports informed decision-making across complex operational environments.
One of the highlights of the week was connecting with leaders from across Canada's defence ecosystem, including David McGuinty, Sherry Romanado, Mรฉlanie Joly and Stephen Fuhr, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between government, industry and technology partners.
We're also proud of our team member, Lexxi Clement who continues to support and engage with WiDS Canada, helping foster collaboration and growth across the industry. Special recognition goes to Lindsay Ellison, who represented Esri Canada by showcasing how ArcGIS AllSource can integrate and visualize multi-source data into a clear, actionable operational picture.
Thank you to the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) for organizing the event and everyone who connected with us throughout the week. We look forward to continuing the conversations and partnerships that help turn data into actionable insight.
