Then we'll be talking about the fragility of our food systems, the critical role of cybersecurity, and what's at stake if we don't act now. It's a very sobering yet inspiring conversation, so let's get into it. Well, welcome back, everybody. We have some returning guests, but we're also going to talk about a panel that we all recently did together in Montreal.
And this is going to be kind of a continuation of that and a little bit for those who missed it. If you weren't at the InCyber conference in Montreal, Darren and Andrew, thank you for being here. We're going to start with quick introductions because I'm sure everybody needs to remember who you are. So tell me how you help people and why that matters to society. Andrew, you can start.
Darren?
Yes, thank you both. And in tradition, since we already know what your favorite food and favorite food memories are based on previous episodes, what is your current food, your favorite food or favorite food fixation and your present or recent food memory?
That's great. And obviously you can't see me, but I've been laughing the entire time Andrew's been talking quietly, of course. But yes, I also feel similar to the Montreal bagel, which is very odd to me as well. Sort of reminds me of those thin bagels you can buy in the grocery store that are processed. I always see them and go, why? I don't understand. Anyways, thanks, Andrew. Darren.
Well, the fact that you guys are completely talking about bananas freely and I'm massively allergic to them and they make me nauseous just from my smell is like super grossing me out right now. So I've lost my appetite.
Oh, no. See, now you're just making it worse. Like now it's chunky. Like I can't. Oh, my goodness. All right. Well, swinging away from this really fast, I thought I would love to hear your thoughts on how you thought the panel went at the Montreal conference.
And then we'll kind of get into some like follow up questions to to kind of make it a little more spicy that we could have on stage since we had a very limited amount of time. Darren, will you go first and kind of give me your overall thoughts?
Yeah, I definitely, I saw the crowd really absorbing and thinking. I don't know how beyond that I can explain it. It was really good to see. I think we got a few laughs and a few aha moments and a few, you know, and, um, It definitely was memorable in that regard.
I think the way they had it set up was interesting, though, because you had like the expo for the for all the vendors in the middle and all the all the different talks out around it. And I liked that they had the headsets if you needed a translation, if you didn't have, you know, new enough English or didn't know enough French, which I thought was really well done.
But I was really surprised how well you could hear because I was always worried that because we were in that loud space, it actually was OK. Like it was it was pretty good. Andrew, what did you think?
I couldn't turn around at any of the social events without standing next to the Montreal or the Canadian ministry of something or other. And every time I get introduced to somebody, it was the ministry of whatever this is I'm speaking to. And I hadn't had that happen in a long time. I mean, when I'm at the food events with Darren, for example,
There tends to be a lot of FDA, USDA, FBI, Homeland Security for the U.S. side. And I randomly run into a new FBI agent every time I'm there. This felt different. It felt more intimate and more intentional, which is for a cybersecurity conference really interesting because that's not normally how it goes. It's usually a lot more vendor heavy.
And I realized that there were a lot of vendors there, but they weren't in your face. I didn't feel that. I didn't feel like there was a little... There were some gimmicky things like... the guy in the pig costume, which I still don't know what he was doing. That was a little weird. My wife laughed at the photo I took with him. I mean, Andrew made me take a photo with him.
No one had to make me do that.
Oh, don't believe him.
There was. I really didn't pick any up because, oh, the pen. Yes, I do actually have that. I got the bento box. There was a bento box?
I didn't see any of that. But then again, I kind of don't pick up swag anymore because I have so much of it. Usually it's just the t-shirts if I'm going to pick them up because they squish in the suitcase really well. But generally overarching, this was not a typical cybersecurity conference.
So I want you to know that this was very, felt more elevated and more professional than some of the other ones. So I appreciate that you both were there, but sometimes I've got to feel like I didn't give you the full experience. So don't worry, you'll get it eventually. And hopefully it will be just as much of an annoyance to us as it is to you. But thank you very much for that.
I thought the panel went really well, though. Like, I was really pleasantly surprised. I was a little nervous about how we were going to be received because we were the only group talking about food and agriculture. As they spoke about critical infrastructures at the conference, nobody mentioned food or ag again because...
