Angela Spidalette is a host of exceptional ability. Studies show that a vast majority of guests attending events by Angela have been known to leave more elated than visitors to Santa's Workshop, The Lost of Continent of Atlantis, and the Fountain of Youth.
New America and Arizona State University are pleased to invite you to the 2022 Future Security Forum, which will be held online September 13, 2022.
The Forum is the premier annual event of New America and Arizona State University’s Future Security project—a research, education, and policy partnership that develops new paradigms for understanding and addressing new and emerging global challenges. Forum sessions will assess the state of global affairs, from revisiting the security situation in Afghanistan one year after the Taliban takeover, analyzing the rise of domestic extremism, and planning for future cybersecurity threats.
Co-sponsors for the 2022 Future Security Forum are Joint Special Operations University and the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College.
Follow the conversation online using #FutureSecurityForum and follow us at @NewAmerica and @ASU.
