This CTNSP seminar series explores cutting edge defense policy issues in an open, unclassified format. Our program is offered without charge in order to provide a venue for education, discussion and networking among professionals influential in the policy-making process. Guests typically include a wide range of experts from the policy, academic, military, interagency, and private contracting communities. As a means of ensuring frank and open debate, all remarks during the conference should be considered strictly "not for attribution."

CTNSP’s seminars explore a wide range of forward looking themes. The program marks an evolution and continuation of the National Defense University series on Transforming National Security. Speakers and topics vary from course to course, so prior attendees are highly encouraged to attend. The seminars are held on the campus of the National Defense University, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, D.C.
