The CNAS 2021 National Security Conference will explore the new challenges, ideas, and voices transforming America's national security landscape. It will feature a series of interactive online sessions on issues such as technology and economic competition, the future of defense, and the challenges to democratic values. The conference will showcase a new generation of national security voices, including "The Pitch," the Center's annual competition of ideas, held before an interactive audience and distinguished panel of judges. This multi-day conference will culminate in a live virtual strategy game around the issues shaping the Department of Defense’s next National Defense Strategy.
