David advises governments, enterprises, and service providers on cyber threats, security culture, and the essential element of cyber risk: people and their behaviour. He has testified before House of Commons and Senate committees, helping shape conversations around national security, critical infrastructure, and cyber resilience. In 2016, David co-founded Beauceron Security with an innovative approach to cybersecurity awareness and risk management which empowers everyone within an organization to know more, and car

e more, about their key role in protecting against cyber-attacks. Beauceron Security now serves more than 1400+ clients across North America, Europe, and Africa.

The webinar is a AFWA and CFWF collaboration.

CFWF 2026 Crowning Agchievements – Register Now

It has come to this correspondent’s attention—through channels both impeccably placed and delightfully well-tended—that London, Ontario shall host your annual conference in September 2026. A most fitting setting for such a cultivated gathering, where ink meets soil and discourse blooms as reliably as the season’s finest crop. This year’s theme, “Crowning Agchievements,” promises a regal celebration of agriculture’s finest contributions, from field to feature story.

I, Lady Cowbell, your esteemed official spokesperson, shall preside over proceedings with my customary pastoral authority. Expect ideas to germinate, conversations to flourish, and achievements to be duly crowned in spirited fashion. Until then, this correspondent shall observe with great interest—and not the faintest hint of dirt under the fingernails.

Yours in discerning observation,

CFWF2021 – Risky Business – Conference Update

Norma Tolhurst — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 19:53:44 +0000

There is nothing riskier than conference planning in the midst of a global pandemic. Over the past two years, we have made plans to welcome CFWF to Windsor, put those plans on hold, created new plans … and now we find ourselves yet again revising our plans.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to cancel the in-person portion of CFWF2021 in Windsor. We are, however, dedicating our planning efforts to developing an amazing three-day online conference.

The agenda will include a mix of professional development, networking opportunities, and fun – all the things that make the annual CFWF conference a must-attend for so many. There will be a mix of webinars featuring farm tours and Q&A sessions, informative presentations, and hands-on skills workshops. And don’t miss the evening entertainment, the CFWF Awards presentation, and your chance to win a prize!

The preliminary agenda is now available and will be updated as sessions are confirmed. Registration is now open! There will be a $100 registration fee which includes a conference attendee fun box and access to the recordings of all sessions.

Don’t be risk adverse! Don’t hedge your bets! Go all in and join us online for CFWF2021 -Risky Business September 23 – 25, and help us make this year’s conference a rewarding experience.
