2017 INSS: Intelligence & National Security Summit

The Role of Intelligence in the Future Threat Environment (Room Room 202B)

Today’s “legacy” Intelligence Community (IC) is responsible for understanding a world that is rapidly – and in many ways radically – changing. To master its subject the IC itself must change to keep pace. In this session, attendees will become active participants in assessing alternative futures for effective intelligence and a transformed community over the next two decades. Audience members will vote in real time on the plausibility and value of specific hypotheses and propositions about future directions and requirements for intelligence. Just as we already anticipate the IC will no longer hold a monopoly position on providing “intelligence” to decision makers, and that additional non-government entities will become more heavily involved in the traditional intelligence process, this breakout session is an effort to incorporate more voices into an understanding of the future.
