Maritime Security Challenges Conference Series

In existence since 2005, the biennial Maritime Security Challenges (MSC) conference, located in Victoria, BC, is the only conference of its kind in Canada. With over 200 international delegates from military and related maritime industries attending this bienniel event, the conference attracts an exclusive senior contingent of professionals involved in all aspects of maritime operations and security, from thought-leaders, to academics, to industry suppliers, to well-known and accomplished subject matter experts, from all over the world.

Delegates are brought together for 4 days to Victoria, BC, a beautiful capital city on an island in the Pacific Northwest, in an environment that fosters learning and exchange with ample opportunity for connecting with peers. Known for quality programming, MSC uniquely blends both academic theory and current issues, drawing on a significant range of international security analysts.

The MSC14 organizers, as active members of the maritime security community of interest, are keenly aware of what practitioners are looking for in a conference of this type. The MSC format prioritizes the fostering of creative, constructive, and timely dialogue with plenty of opportunities for informal discussions and networking amongst our delegates.

More feedback from MSC 2012:
