CSi Conference

The annual, two-day CSi Conference, “Intelligence and National Security in a Changing World”, is one of the highlights of the ISI Programme. All ISI students attend and are joined by ‘paying guests’ with an academic or professional interest in the field. The Conference addresses the most pressing security challenges facing governments, private industry, and even private citizens in a globalised and interconnected world. Attendees can expect to hear about Great Power challenges to global order, such as those offered by Russia and China. The ever-present issues of global instability, terrorism, and regional conflict will be considered alongside the impacts of cutting-edge technological innovation, nuclear proliferation and cyber operations. With panels and distinguished keynote speakers moderated by ISI teaching faculty, the conference offers a chance for attendees to hear first-hand insights (under the Chatham House rule) from former senior officials, intelligence and security practitioners and from academic experts.
