12th Annual Homeland Defense/Security Education Summit (2019)
October 30, 2019 – November 1, 2019 PDT
“The 12th Annual Homeland Defense & Security Education Summit perhaps was the most timely ever,” according to UAPP Director Steve Recca. “This year’s themes around ‘public interest security’ – including information/disinformation campaigns and border issues – really struck a chord with the higher education and policy participants.” The theme Public Interest Security: Leveraging Education to Connect Policy and Operations with American Perspectives of Homeland Security produced a number of diverse discussion topics by focusing on two specific research presentation tracks: Border Issues and Technology and Influence Operations. To complement both tracks presentation topics, the three-day Summit also addressed pertinent sub-themes in the realm of evolving homeland security threats, critical infrastructure protection, emergency preparedness, and new approaches in homeland security education.
