🚨 Meet Our President’s Luncheon Keynote Speaker: Jane Arnett 🚨
Learn more about Jane Arnett here.
AI and digital tools are quickly becoming essential to staying productive and competitive—but they’re a double-edged sword. The same tools that help businesses move faster can also create new entry points for cyber criminals, especially for SMEs that don’t have dedicated IT staff.
That’s why we’re excited to welcome Jane Arnett, Cyber Security Evangelist at Check Point Software Canada, as our keynote speaker at the President’s Luncheon on May 14, 2026.
Jane works with organizations across Canada and sees firsthand how AI is reshaping both opportunity and risk. In her keynote, she’ll break down, in clear, practical terms, why SMEs are increasingly being targeted, how AI-driven attacks are changing the landscape, and what business owners can realistically do to protect themselves while still embracing new technology.
