Florida Is On the Front Lines. And Under Threat.

That鈥檚 why we鈥檝e created the Florida Security Forum, a high-impact gathering designed to drive solutions, not just talk about them. Each year, we'll convene scholars, policy experts, and industry leaders for a focused dialogue on the national security challenges uniquely impacting the state of Florida.


where urgency meets expertise

Florida is a hub for defense, international commerce, and technological innovation, and plays an outsized role in shaping national security policy and decisions.
