Overview
The Vancouver Digital Diplomacy Forum 2027 (VDDF 2027) is an international forum organized by the Canadian Center for Cultural Diplomacy (CCCD) to explore the evolving relationship between diplomacy, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, public policy, and global governance. As digital transformation continues to reshape international relations, governments, international organizations, academic institutions, technology companies, and civil society increasingly require new diplomatic approaches capable of addressing complex global challenges. Digital diplomacy has emerged as a strategic field that extends beyond digital communication, encompassing digital governance, technology policy, cyber cooperation, international regulation, and cross-sector collaboration. The Forum will provide a high-level international platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and professional networking among diplomats, policymakers, academics, technology experts, business leaders, students, and representatives of international organizations. By bringing together diverse stakeholders from Canada and around the world, the Forum aims to strengthen international cooperation while promoting innovative approaches to diplomacy in an increasingly digital and interconnected global environment.
