The
Aspen Security Forum will gather world
leaders and experts in global affairs at the Aspen Institute campus this week
for conversations that range from the war in Ukraine to space exploration.
The
four-day program, running Tuesday through Friday, largely revolves around
topics in defense, intelligence and conflict.
Speakers
include current U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice, as well as INTERPOL Secretary General
Jürgen Stock, multiple U.S. senators and high-up officials from countries like
Singapore and Germany.
The
leaders of several major companies and nongovernmental organizations will be
there, too, as well as some writers and filmmakers. (In one unique book talk,
author Natasha Lance Rogoff will talk about “The Muppets in Moscow: The
Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia.”)
However,
several previously-announced speakers are no longer on the lineup following the
attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally on
Saturday. That includes Director of the U.S. Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro
Mayorkas,
who are now involved in briefings and investigations about the shooting.
The
caliber of the speakers warrants tight security at the in-person event, and
attendees must be vetted and approved for a pass through the Aspen
Strategy Group that
organizes the forum.
There
is also a livestream option for anyone who signs up online. Aspen Public Radio
will broadcast
select sessions at
8 p.m. each night of the forum.
Note:
This story has been updated on July 15 and 17 to reflect updates to the Aspen
Security Forum lineup, following an assassination attempt at former President
Donald Trump's campaign rally on July 13 and other changes to speaker
availability.
