Networking & speaker session with a full dinner included. Secure your seat now! Only 20 open spots are available for this private gathering.\*\* Join IFL Toronto on March 24th, as we bring together 35 of Canada's next generation of leaders for an intimate discussion on securing the next era of domestic and global defence. **Speaker Bio:** **James Castle** is a global authority in advanced security systems, serving as Founder and Global Chairperson of Terranova Aerospace and Defense Group and Global Chairperson of the Cyber Security Global Alliance. His work focuses on securing the convergence of artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and autonomous and uncrewed systems across defense, critical infrastructure, and civil applications. Under Castle’s leadership, Terranova operates internationally at the intersection of AI assurance, quantum resilient security architectures, and drone and robotics systems, supporting governments, industry, and academic partners on safeguarding next-generation technologies before they are widely deployed. His teams specialize in building security by design frameworks that anticipate system misuse rather than reacting to failure. Castle also leads global initiatives on AI trust governance, quantum safe communications, and responsible autonomy, shaping workforce development and cross-border standards through the CSGA Cyber AI Research Institute and the Center for the Safety of Artificial Intelligence. His work emphasizes human-centric security, ethical deployment, and operational resilience in environments where AI decision making, quantum systems, and autonomous platforms increasingly intersect. A frequent advisor and speaker, James Castle is recognized for translating complex emerging technologies into actionable security strategies that protect societies while enabling innovation at scale. **Topics of Discussion:** *AI, quantum computing, and autonomous systems in a changing security landscape.* This intimate dinner offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with peers and thought leaders, exchange bold ideas, and gain insights to lead with greater impact in times of transformation. **Event Details:** **Date:** Tuesday, April 21st, 2026 **Time:** 6:30 PM – Doors open for Networking \| 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \- Event **Venue:** JOEY Eaton Centre Event Space, 1 Dundas St. W, Toronto, ON **Dress Code:** Business Casual **Audience:** 30 emerging leaders aged 25–39 **Guest Policy:** This is a private event, but we welcome referrals of like-minded young leaders who embody the spirit of IFL. **How to buy your ticket?** RSVP to purchase directly on this page. *\*By purchasing a ticket, attendees agree to be photographed at the event, and photographs that may be posted on IFL Toronto social media channels*

Whether you've been playing since Guitar Hero 1 like me or want to try out Rock Band 4 for the first time, you're welcome at the Console Gamers Group Rock Band & Rhythm Gaming Meetup! I have a projector equipped loft for Rock Band (Beatles, 3, and 4), Guitar Hero (Warriors of Rock and Live), Dance Dance Revolution/StepMania, and Just Dance. There is also a second bedroom that can be used for games like Frequency/Amplitude, Taiko no Tatsujin, DJ Hero, Beatmania, Parappa the Rapper, Deemo, Voez, the Persona Dancing games, and more. When you arrive please park in a space that does NOT have a number or says "Decal Parking Only"; if those aren't available there's lots of open street parking within the Penderbrook community (I'm right in the middle so either side is cool; parking on Center Way or the middle of Penderbrook Drive is best) but please don't parck on a yellow curb or you might be towed! You'll want to turn at the sign that says "The Greens" onto Golf RIDGE, and then to Golf TEE where I'm the first house on the left. When you enter walk all the way up and to the right; look for the Super Mario Bros. doormat. I'm about 10 driving minutes from the Vienna/Fairfax metro station. We usually go out for dinner at around 5 PM; I live a short drive away from lots of shopping centers including Fair Oaks Mall, Pender, Fairfax Shopping/Towne Center, Fair Lakes Promenade, Fair Lakes Center, and Fairfax Corner. Here's a list of restaurants in the area by food type: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mn6ytvuaaGaBlpVT-9pBSh8fv6X8_V9wzl4eQKYzRT0/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mn6ytvuaaGaBlpVT-9pBSh8fv6X8_V9wzl4eQKYzRT0/edit?usp=sharing) And by shopping center location! [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZe-ZY5_hKk9SaCSfyjh2eZLNHXTFQLC0QAW12AnYto/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZe-ZY5_hKk9SaCSfyjh2eZLNHXTFQLC0QAW12AnYto/edit?usp=sharing) Please follow the group's rules & guidelines below: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PS-UUkkFQ1JDaMp7pCTSGMu2Rqm58X7srdCzhN0Y-xA/edit?usp=drivesdk](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PS-UUkkFQ1JDaMp7pCTSGMu2Rqm58X7srdCzhN0Y-xA/edit?usp=drivesdk) I also have two more guidelines, but they're pretty easy to follow: 1. Gaming equipment are not toys. Please be responsible with other people's controllers, consoles, games, furniture, etc. Accidents happen, but if you continuously break things you won't be allowed to use people's equipment. 2. Try and keep a positive atmosphere. A lot of people attend the group to escape from their daily lives. Don't feel like you need to leave your problems at the door, everyone needs to vent once in a while, but please attempt to not do so the whole meetup. We're here to have fun after all, so try and keep it that way! <3
