Counterterrorism2026

April 20, 2026 9:00 AM - April 21, 2026 4:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural program, we are proud to host COUNTERTERRORISM2026 — now expanded to two full days in response to overwhelming demand and the rapidly evolving threat environment.

This mission-focused convening brings together leaders from government, law enforcement, academia, and the private sector to examine the current state of terrorism and the complex landscape shaping tomorrow’s risks.

As threats continue to evolve in speed, scale, and sophistication, this year’s expanded program will provide deeper operational insight and strategic analysis into:

  • Emerging terrorist organizations and global networks
  • Shifting tactics, tradecraft, and technology adoption
  • Target selection trends and critical infrastructure risks
  • Domestic radicalization dynamics
  • Cross-border and transnational threat linkages
  • The role of innovation, AI, and digital platforms in extremist operations

Designed for practitioners and decision-makers, the Summit moves beyond theory to explore real-world case studies, intelligence assessments, and frontline lessons learned.
