Note that while serious gaming for national security preparedness is always a major theme at all Connections conferences, the Canadian version addresses serious gaming much more broadly. Past conferences and presentations have explored serious gaming for humanitarian training, COVID 19 pandemic response, peacebuilding education, contingency planning for agricultural biosecurity, climate change, emerging Arctic sovereignty and environmental issues, and many other topic.

Connections North is a founding sponsor of the Derby House Principles on diversity and inclusion in professional (war)gaming: https://paxsims.wordpress.com/derby-house-principles/
