Sebastian Gorka

Deputy Assistant to the President, The White House 

Description

America is at war, but most of its citizens don’t know it.  Covert information warfare is being waged by world powers, rogue states – such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea – and even terrorist groups like ISIS.  This conflict has been designed to defeat and ultimately destroy the United States.  This new type of warfare is part of the Information Age that has come to dominate our lives.  Technology has completely revolutionized modern warfare.  The Obama Administration failed to meet this challenge, and the question now is what the Trump Administration can do to catch up and triumph in this timely and important struggle.

The keynote address will be presented by Dr. Sebastian Gorka who serves as the Deputy Assistant to the President at The White House. Following his remarks, the panel discussion will feature Bill Gertz who is the Author of iWar: War and Peace in the Information Age, Dr. John LenzcowskiFounder and President, Institute of World Politics and Alberto Fernandez who is the Vice President of the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Join us as our speakers discuss the future of information warfare and the institutions the U.S. government needs to engage fully in this battle.
