To answer critical questions about homeland security and counterterrorism, the Aspen Institute's Homeland Security Program, in partnership with The New York Times and CNN's Security Clearance website, presents the fourth annual Aspen Security Forum, July 17-20, 2013

The Forum is an annual summer gathering at our signature "Aspen Meadows" campus in Colorado of top-level present and former government officials from all relevant homeland security agencies (the White House; Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, State, Justice, and Treasury; the intelligence community; and Congress); industry leaders (large and small homeland security and counterterrorism-related companies, as well as private equity investors, merchant and investment bankers, venture capitalists, and other financiers); leading thinkers (in other think tanks and academe); nationally noted print and broadcast journalists; and concerned citizens. During three days of in-depth conversation, participants explore various aspects of aviation security; maritime security; border security; mass transit security; critical infrastructure protection; "soft targets" security; cyber-security; intelligence; counterterrorism strategy; terrorism finance; and more.
