Featured Keynote Programs
Defeating Jihad
This talk is linked directly to Dr. Sebastian Gorka’s new book, Defeating Jihad, and summarizes the work and its importance to all Americans concerned with the safety of the republic. The book is a detailed analysis of the global jihadist movement, of which Al Qaeda and ISIS are but the most famous expressions, the origins of the ideology that drives its members, and the strategy they follow that informs attacks such as 9/11, Fort Hood and the San Bernardino massacre.
Audiences will be provided details on the strategic response Dr. Gorka outlines in the book, the plan to empower local actors in the Middle East, and use informational means to delegitimize the message of holy war propagated by terrorists and their masterminds.
Terrorism
The ISIS Threat to the United States
We see the daily reports of bloodshed and mayhem in the Middle East and North Africa, and even news of terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, but what does this all mean to the average American or stateside CEO?
Building on his work with U.S. Special Forces and the FBI, Dr. Sebastian Gorka will share the findings of the research done by his company, the Threat Knowledge Group, on the tangible ISIS threat to the United States.
Participants will hear the details on the more than 100 arrests of ISIS suspects made in the U.S. over the last two years. Dr. Gorka will provide information on the trends these plots evince, what this means for the likelihood of future attacks and what it will take to defeat this enemy both abroad and on our shores.

Intelligence in the Post-9/11 World
Everyone loves that dashing former naval commander James Bond, international spy extraordinaire. But while Ian Fleming’s 007 may have embodied the bipolar standoff that was the Cold War, he is a poor match for today’s global enemies.
With his background in a British reserve intelligence unit, Dr. Sebastian Gorka will explain how the world of intelligence has dramatically changed in the post-Cold War, especially in the post-9/11 world.
Including a primer on key aspects of modern intelligence gathering and analysis, audiences will receive an understanding of what exactly espionage and counterintelligence consist of in a world in which Chinese theft of intellectual property is just as great a threat as domestic jihadis plotting attacks in our major cities. They will learn what works and what doesn’t work, what this all means for the private sector and how it affects the safety and privacy concerns of the individual citizen.
Jihad and You
9/11 seems so long ago to many Americans, especially millennials. But recent events, such as the Boston bombing, San Bernardino and the attacks in Paris and Brussels, remind us how ever present and pervasive jihadi terrorism remains.
The role of law enforcement domestically is clear. As are the missions of our armed services abroad, especially our special forces tracking and neutralizing key jihadist leaders. But how do you, your company and your family fit into today’s world of globalized and transnational threats?
With over a decade providing strategic support to the American national security sector, including the FBI and Green Berets, Dr. Sebastian Gorka will share his knowledge on what it is every citizen needs to know about groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS, and what they can do to make themselves safer.
