As someone deeply committed to the foundations of democracy and trust in our institutions, digital trust is fundamental to me. It’s not just about the integrity of systems we interact with daily; it's about safety and security for me, my children, and future generations. Digital trust underpins greater digital equity and has the potential to create more human and inclusive systems. For over a decade, I’ve been dedicated to convening the EXCITE community, a platform that has significantly influenced the discourse on digital trust. EXCITE has become the go-to event for essential conversations about digital trust with public, private, and civil society leaders. This year’s sessions at EXCITE are especially meaningful, covering topics that resonate deeply with our mission: - Building Digital Resilience in Public Institutions - Creating Trustworthy AI Systems - Enhancing Cybersecurity for a Safer Digital Future - Promoting Digital Equity and Inclusion If you're as passionate about these issues, I encourage you to join us tomorrow and Wednesday at EXCITE. Let's build a safer, more inclusive digital future for everyone. Your participation and insights can help shape the conversations that matter most. https://lnkd.in/g2y_TtvU #DigitalTrust #EXCITE2024 #Inclusion #Equity #Cybersecurity #AI #EXCITEsummit

Cependant, c’est en 1977 que le gouvernement proclame officiellement le 24 juin jour de la Fête nationale du Québec. Cette journée est désormais fériée et des festivités ont lieu partout dans la province. Depuis 1984, c’est le Mouvement national des Québécoises et Québécois qui a le mandat d’organiser la Fête nationale du Québec.
