On Monday 2 March, Security & Defence PLuS will launch the Emerging Voices Series: Strategy, Security & Defense at ASU. This one-day conference will bring together established leaders and recognized experts with rising and underrepresented voices to explore the future of strategy, security, and defense.

The conference themes will reflect ASU’s distinctive research strengths and regional priorities. Discussions will explore leadership and innovation, critical infrastructure protection, alliance dynamics and regional security, and future-facing issues such as space, AI and defense technology.

Participants will hear from senior leaders including Congressman Greg Stanton, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General (Ret.) Jennifer Short; Paul Rennie OBE, British Consul General in Los Angeles; and Professor Laurie Leshin, former Director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, alongside emerging scholars and practitioners shaping the next generation of security thinking.
